Japanese Aircraft Carrying Cruiser Mogami (1/350) 78021

The Mogami was a Japanese Navy cruiser converted into an aircraft-carrying cruiser after sustaining battle damage in 1943. This Tamiya 1/350 scale kit captures the ship’s post-conversion appearance, including its flight deck, hangar facilities, and powerful armament.

Originally launched in 1934 as a heavy cruiser, the Mogami underwent significant modifications throughout its service life. After being damaged at the Battle of Midway, it was rebuilt to carry reconnaissance aircraft, serving in this role until its sinking in 1944. This model kit offers modellers a chance to recreate a unique vessel that reflected Japan’s adaptability in naval warfare.
