Introducing the Tamiya 31359 1/700 Mogami Kit

This scale model captures the Japanese Light Cruiser Mogami in a compact 1/700 Water Line format that balances detail and ease of build. The kit concentrates on the ship's original light cruiser appearance for an authentic small-scale presentation.

Naval Background and Model Interest

The Mogami's service history shows a ship adapted for different roles, and this kit reflects the early design elements that made it notable. The model highlights the hull shape and primary fittings that appeal to naval modellers.

Assembly Features and Finish

Built as part of Tamiya's Water Line series, the kit uses separate hull halves for precise alignment. The included components such as the rear mast, deck-top high-angle guns and crane add to the finished model's visual accuracy.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Details: Includes deck-top high-angle guns and rear mast
Yes, this 1/700 Water Line kit matches common scale standards and can be displayed alongside other ships in the same series for a coherent fleet display.
The kit is complete for a solid display model, but advanced builders often add fine brass or photo-etched parts for railings and ladders to enhance scale appearance.
Use a small brush or airbrush for base colours, then pick out details with a fine brush and apply washes to bring out the panel lines and fittings.
The PS plastic is typical of scale kits and trims cleanly with a sharp blade. Fine sanding and careful test fitting keep seams neat before painting.
