2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Product introduction The 5,500-ton light cruiser "Kuma" with its prominent vertical linoleum deck is commercialized in a new mold with a bottom style!The product is designed with a snap-fit ​​type that does not require adhesive, making it a series with specifications that set it apart from conventional kits.The assembly method is all inset, and both offshore and full hull types can be produced by dividing the parts at the waterline (excluding bonus parts) - The motif of the product is the appearance before anti-aircraft weapons were strengthened in the latter half of 1942.•In contrast to the horizontal linoleum deck of normal ships, Kuma's unique vertical linoleum deck is reproduced with special parts.-The hull is a Kuma-specific part that is in the early war state before the portholes are closed.It is a separate part from Tama.•As there is a record of her docking at the Kure Naval Arsenal between August and September 1944, the color of the main parts of the warship is a relatively bright color that imitates the ``Kure Arsenal color.''★The steel plate/strip (non-slip) treated surface of the bow anchor chain deck is finely carved with delicate carvings.The outboard electrical circuit is expressed with the appropriate height and sharpness to make the electrical circuit and holding metal fittings stand out on the model.★Main gun There are two types of shield canopies, depending on whether or not they have knuckles (bent corners), but Kuma uses the type with knuckles.★Ship bridge: Designed to improve precision after completion by making it three-dimensional without omitting small details such as the pillars below the lookout post on the side of the bridge.★Torpedo weapon Both the front and rear launch tubes can be rotated (launching configuration).★Central part The thickness of the armor plate and the three-dimensional shape of the rivets are reflected in many parts, mainly in the center part of the gunwale.The chimney is expressed using Kuma-specific parts with an early rainwater removal device (distorted shape with a bulging top).The davit at the rear of the port side reproduces the appearance of having been replaced with a large one.The catapult is a newly designed part of the Kure Type 2/3 injection machine that was equipped during the war.For water reconnaissance, the Type 94 No. 2 water reconnaissance plane is newly designed and made into parts.Reproduces a large float carrier-based aircraft with a 3-piece structure.★Aft/Stern The rear shelter deck is designed to be divided into warship color at the edge/side of the deck and linoleum color on the horizontal surface at precise locations.The tip of the track for the No. 1 linked mine on the stern is folded, and its appearance is accurately expressed without omitting it.Safety Warning Not applicable
