Tamiya 31341 - Mogami 1/700 Scale Japanese Aircraft Carrying Cruiser Kit, Hobby Grade  [31341]

Mogami model summary for scale ship fans

The Tamiya 1/700 Mogami kit represents the aircraft carrying cruiser version of the ship, offering a faithful small-scale interpretation that suits both display builders and active modellers. The kit focuses on the converted layout and recognisable silhouette.

Service record and refit overview

Mogami participated in notable WWII operations such as the Malay landings and the Sunda Strait clashes. The vessel's conversion to operate a complement of hydroplanes is a key part of its service history and is shown clearly in the kit's arrangement.

Construction notes and kit highlights

This compact 1/700 kit includes historically referenced bridge and funnel shapes and a detailed aft flight deck. Rotatable main turrets use polycaps for smooth movement after build, and the moulding preserves fine armament and deck fittings for painting and finishing.
