Majestic Imperial Navy Cruiser in 1/700 Scale

Step into naval history with this finely detailed 1/700 scale model kit of the Imperial Japanese Navy Heavy Cruiser Takao - one of the most renowned capital ships of Japan's cruiser force during World War II. The iconic silhouette of the Takao, with its commanding superstructure and powerful presence at sea, is faithfully represented in miniature, making it a standout piece for naval model collectors and history enthusiasts.

 

Renewed Waterline Series Precision

Part of Aoshima's renewed 1/700 Waterline series, this kit benefits from improved molding precision thanks to modern slide‑mold technology. This advanced tooling delivers crisp details on small and complex components - from the main guns to deck equipment - helping bring the essence of Takao's wartime configuration to life right down to the waterline.

 

Detailed Armament and Equipment Pieces

The model includes a broad selection of outfitting parts that reflect Takao's combat readiness in the later war period. Newly designed mold parts cover an array of essential gear such as Type 96 25 mm triple and single machine guns, Type 89 12.7 cm twin high‑angle guns, signal searchlights, electric probes, aircraft catapults, and onboard boats - all combining to create an impressive level of realism on the deck.

 

Realistic Late‑War Appearance

This kit represents Takao in her late‑war configuration, where modernization had equipped her with enhanced anti‑aircraft defenses and updated fittings. The characteristic bridge structure and additional wartime equipment give the model a distinguished and aggressive look that accurately communicates the ship's evolution and service history.

 

Rewarding Build Experience for Enthusiasts

While this model is designed to be approachable with a logical parts layout, assembling the intricate details will appeal to hobbyists who enjoy hands‑on scale modeling. Painting and minor assembly are encouraged to highlight the ship's features - whether the cruiser is displayed solo or as part of a broader Pacific naval diorama.
