[KG-16] 1/700 TAKAO FULL HULL Model

Recreate one of the most iconic heavy cruisers of the Imperial Japanese Navy with this highly detailed 1/700 scale model of the Takao. This full hull edition allows for a complete representation of the vessel from the waterline down to the keel, capturing the imposing presence of the ship known for its massive, castle-like bridge structure.

This kit features an updated parts set that enhances the level of detail for serious naval modelers. The lower hull is designed as a single-piece molding to ensure structural integrity, while the rudder and propellers are provided as separate components for a more realistic finish. A significant highlight of this release is the inclusion of precision-engineered 25mm anti-aircraft guns. These weapons utilize a two-piece construction that separates the gun barrels from the mounts, making it much easier to paint the barrels in gunmetal and the bases in the ship's hull color.

The carrier-based aircraft included in the set are molded in gray plastic rather than clear, providing better visibility and ease of assembly during the building process. To complete the look, the kit comes with a dedicated display stand, allowing you to showcase the full profile of the Takao once finished.
