31316 - Tamiya - 1/700 Kuma Light Cruiser 

Bring a piece of naval history to your collection with the Tamiya 31316 1/700 IJN Kuma Light Cruiser model kit, a finely detailed replica of one of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s early light cruisers. Part of Tamiya’s renowned Water Line Series, this kit accurately recreates the Kuma as she appeared between 1939–1940, featuring authentic structural and armament details.

Originally laid down in 1918, the Kuma-class cruisers were designed to support Japan’s ambitious fleet strategy, serving as fast escorts and reconnaissance ships. This model captures the ship’s distinctive design, including three straight funnels, a simple bridge structure, and 14cm gun mounts, all faithfully reproduced in 1/700 scale.
