FULL HULL IJN HEAVY CRUISER MAYA 1944

Aoshima's Full-Hull Series Gets a Long-Awaited Renewal!!

The outfitting parts have been newly researched and redesigned. By incorporating multiple slide mechanisms into the molds, we've accurately reproduced the intricate details of the 1/700 scale.
We proudly present the reborn, more precise 1/700 scale warship (full-hull model) series.

＜Additional Mold＞
Maya was commissioned as the third ship of the Takao-class heavy cruisers. During the Pacific War, she fought in fierce battles including operations in the Solomon Islands and the Battle off Attu. After participating in the Battle of the Philippine Sea in 1944, she was sunk during the Battle of Leyte Gulf by a torpedo attack from the U.S. submarine USS Dace.
This kit recreates Maya in her 1944 configuration, after being damaged at Truk Lagoon in 1943 and subsequently repaired and converted into an anti-aircraft cruiser. The conversion included the removal of her No.3 main turret and the addition of six twin 12.7cm high-angle gun mounts and twelve triple 25mm anti-aircraft guns.
This 1/700 scale plastic model kit features newly designed equipment parts, including high-angle guns and anti-aircraft weaponry.
