JAPANESE NAVY HEAVY CRUISER TAKAO 1/ 700 MODEL KIT

Aoshima brings us a 1/700-scale waterline model kit of the Takao, a heavy cruiser that is still popular due to its majesty!

Her late-war appearance, including her characteristic bridge, plus the electric probes and anti-aircraft guns added through modernization, can be accurately reproduced in a simple and easy-to-assemble parts configuration. Newly designed equipment has been added, including machine guns, high-angle guns, and aircraft catapults. Many parts are slide-molded for density and precision; in addition to armaments such as destroyer main guns and machine guns, carrier-based aircraft and other equipment have been updated.
