Hasegawa 49357 - 1/700 Tenryu Light Cruiser Build Kit  [HA-49357]

Hasegawa 49357 - Tenryu 1/700 scale naval kit

The Hasegawa 49357 kit models the Japanese Navy Light Cruiser Tenryu in 1/700 scale as part of the Water Line Series. It offers clear hull definition and small-scale fittings suited to collectors and hobbyists who enjoy painting and finishing detailed subjects.

Historical context and model fidelity

The Tenryu-class helped shape early fleet tactics, and this kit reproduces the ship's overall look and weapons layout. Careful assembly and accurate paint choices help convey the vessel's operational appearance.

Workmanship and display outcome

Moulded plastic parts need gluing and trimming, making this kit best for modellers comfortable with fine work. The completed model displays well with other 1/700 ships or as an individual showcase piece.
