Hasegawa 49358 1/700 IJN Light Cruiser Tatsuta

The Tenryu-class, completed shortly after World War I, is the forerunner of the Imperial Japanese Navy's light cruisers. At the outbreak of the Pacific War, the second Tenryu-class ship, the Tatsuta, was part of the 18th Squadron of the 4th Fleet and fought alongside the Tenryu.

This kit was designed based on the latest historical research and has been reborn as a highly detailed, precision model utilizing current mold technology. The bridge, aft mast, and motorboats, which differ between the Tenryu and the Tatsuta, are accurately  recreated. The direction of the linoleum clamps on the upper deck is based on the latest historical research and is applied vertically.
