Tamiya 31322 - 1/700 Replica of Light Cruiser Nagara

Part of the Nagara-class, the Japanese Light Cruiser Nagara reflects early 20th century naval trends influenced by British design, including the characteristic spoon bow. Commissioned in the late 1910s, Nagara operated across the Pacific during World War II and was lost to a U.S. submarine in 1944.

Tamiya's 1/700 scale kit depicts the ship in its late war armament layout, offering a small scale but historically accurate model that suits both display and collection cabinets.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Length: 200mm
  • Material: Plastic with metal flotation aid
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Decals: Waterslide included

Assembly Advice

The kit features crisp molding and multiple weapon fit options, allowing modellers to recreate the Nagara's late war silhouette. The metal flotation element helps balance the completed hull and the step by step pictorial instructions support a tidy build process.

Basic tools like sprue cutters, a hobby knife, fine files, and plastic cement are essential. Tweezers and good lighting will help with the small 1/700 scale parts.
Assembly requires glue as the components are designed for cemented construction. Use model cement for plastic parts and cyanoacrylate for any aftermarket metal or photo-etch additions.
Yes, the compact 200mm hull and detailed fittings make the kit a good candidate for small dioramas or ship display bases that depict harbour or at-sea scenes.
