Fujimi 1/700 Scale Japanese Navy Heavy Cruiser Suzuya Plastic

This Fujimi 1/700 Scale Japanese Navy Heavy Cruiser Suzuya Plastic Model brings the legendary warship to your hobby table in exacting 1/700 proportion. Including the ship's bottom, this full-hull kit suits modelers who love assembling and hand-painting their own naval replicas. The set features purpose-built mold pieces that capture the Suzuya's characteristic hull form, tapered sides, and special bridge construction with see-through components for a lifelike appearance.

Originally built as a light cruiser per the London Armed Convention, the Suzuya was later armed with 20.3cm guns and reclassified as a heavy cruiser. She served throughout the Pacific War, engaging in southern operations, the Battle of Midway, and the Solomon Islands campaign. This model recreates the Suzuya with historically accurate details including closed portholes, combat-configured machine gun parts, and electronic detectors. Included are 43 runners, 2 assembly guides, and 2 decal sheets, delivering a complete modeling experience.

Treat delicate parts gently during construction to avoid breakage. Remove dust from the finished model using a soft, dry fabric. Shield the model from direct sunlight to prevent plastic discoloration. Store inside a dust-free showcase or cabinet to maintain detail quality. Apply plastic cement in a ventilated area and let it dry fully before painting.
