Aoshima 06976 1/700 Japanese Navy Light Cruiser Kashima [WATER LINE No.355]

Built as one of three Katori-class training cruisers to train naval cadets, Kashima also took on anti-submarine duties during wartime, serving until the end of the war. This kit replicates the late-war version of Kashima, featuring additional high-angle guns and numerous single-mount machine guns along both sides of the hull.
Designed with optimized part configurations, the kit is simple and easy to assemble while accurately capturing the cruiser's form. Newly designed anti-aircraft weapons, searchlights, and other outfitting details add to the realism. This upgraded model faithfully represents the complexity and precision of the 1/700 scale!
