-Item Description

The Agano-class light cruiser, according to the fourth replenishment plan,
It was built as a torpedo squadron flagship.
Deployed after the Battle of Midway
A late WWII light cruiser.
Yahagi was completed at the end of 1943 as her Agano-class third ship.

Her main guns are three 15cm twins, two quadruple 61cm torpedo tubes,
Her high-angle gun is equipped with two long 8cm cannons.
Her first battle was at the Battle of Mariana in June 1944.
She escorted the 1st Air Squadron as the flagship of the 10th Squadron.
Then, in April 1945, for the implementation of Operation Ten-Ichi
She sailed to Okinawa with the battleship Yamato.

In developing the Yahagi,
She repeatedly considered the optimal detail expression for 1/350 scale,
She has achieved a more realistic finish than the conventional 1/350 ship kit.

For example, the torpedo tube mantlet is the same type as "Yukikaze",
It's supposed to be exactly the same parts...
It's obvious if you compare them!
The difference in sharpness and density of her parts is overwhelming.

By sculpting the chimney jack stay with the optimal expression for 1/350,
It has become a more realistic modeling!

Her hull is split left and right.
Stable assembly due to the structure that sandwiches the support inside.
The flight deck with the blast vent is also precisely reproduced.

Her main gun turret, high-angle gun mantlet, and torpedo tube mantlet use slide molds.
Precisely partized with integrated parts.
The tip of the main gun barrel reproduces the muzzle with a slide mold.
The complicated steam waste pipe around the chimney is also accurately made into parts.

Clear parts are used for the windows of the bridge, the windshield of the aircraft, and the searchlights.
Movable parts include rudder, main gun (rotation/elevation angle), 6m rangefinder, machine gun shooting device,
8 cm twin high-angle guns (rotation/elevation),
It will be a torpedo tube, catapult, and type 94 anti-aircraft equipment.
The barrel of the high-angle gun can be moved vertically.

The carrier-based aircraft comes with two zero-type three-seat seaplane reconnaissance planes.
The canopy is a separate part and is molded in clear.
The display stand has been improved from Akagi's specifications,
Take out the fixing pin from the stand side,
It adopts a structure that is inserted into the hull.
