1/700 Kinu replica - Nagara-class detail in scale

The Light Cruiser Kinu performed escort, scouting and torpedo roles during World War II. This 1/700 scale model captures the vessel's silhouette and equipment, providing a realistic subject for display or naval modelling projects.

Authentic miniature features

Based on the ship as completed in 1922, the model reproduces the Kinu's elongated hull, three funnels and boxy bridge. The kit also represents primary weapons like the 14cm guns and the twin 61cm torpedo launchers to maintain period accuracy for collectors.

Construction notes and finishing

Engineered for careful assembly, the kit contains finely moulded parts and metal pieces that assist with flotation for waterline setups. Waterslide decals and clear pictorial instructions are provided to support an accurate build and neat finishing.

The kit focuses on external accuracy for the hull, funnels and major armament, reflecting the Kinu's 1922 appearance. Small-scale liberties may exist due to moulding limits, but overall it is faithful to the ship's profile.
Metal flotation parts are included to help stabilise the hull in a waterline display. Proper weighting and sealing are recommended if you intend to test it in water.
Basic modelling tools, glue and appropriate paints are required to assemble and finish the kit. Use fine brushes or airbrush and reference photos for best results.
