IJN (Imperial Japanese Navy) Mogami class cruiser is one of 4 ships in her class built in the 1930s, initially as light cruisers. This model represents her in 1944 following her retrofit (starting August 1942) to install a flight deck to become an aircraft cruiser. That refit was complete April 1943, and she went through another refit begun in December that year to installing more AA guns. She was ready again in March 1944.
Simple one piece model design for smaller scales and tweaked to ensure as compliant as possible with Shapeways. Designed by Philip Warnes and can be used at a larger hex scale with his
SeaLion Supremacy game, or any other naval tabletop game that uses this scale.
If you have family that served on this vessel, why not order a miniature to keep as a small family keepsake or gift for someone else whose family served onboard. Or maybe you had family who worked at the yards that built this vessel. Keep your family military history alive.
