What the Tamiya 31319 1/700 Yubari kit offers

This 1/700 scale Yubari kit recreates the Japanese light cruiser as seen in 1944, showing its augmented anti-aircraft armament. Tamiya 31319 provides authentic silhouettes and deck detail appropriate for display cabinets and dioramas.

Notable design features

Yubaris profile, including the pronounced forecastle flare and signature funnel shape, marked a step in compact cruiser design. These elements make the ship a compelling build for scale naval fans tracking design evolution.

Build notes and included items

The kit contains a selection of armament parts and metal components that help with ballast and realistic presentation. Waterslide decals and a clear instruction guide are provided, and builders should use model glue and fine tools for assembly.

Will the kit display well in a diorama?

Yes, the 1/700 size is well suited to compact dioramas. The ships silhouette and deck detail work nicely with small figures and water effects to create a convincing scene.

What adhesives should I use for tiny parts?

Use a plastic model cement for main joins and a precision cyanoacrylate for tiny metal-to-plastic contacts. Apply sparingly to avoid excess on small fittings.

Any tips for the waterslide decals?

Cut decals close to the artwork, soak briefly, and slide onto a gloss surface. Use decal setting solution to conform markings to fine details and seal with a clear varnish when dry.
