The scale is 1/700, and it is a full hull specification including the bottom of the ship.

The heavy cruiser "Mogami" was a "light cruiser" built under the London Naval Treaty.

They were built with the intention of replacing their guns and becoming heavy cruisers once treaty restrictions were lifted, and the first ship, Mogami, was completed at the Kure Naval Arsenal in 1935.

The displacement was too small for the amount of armament carried, causing problems with recovery performance and strength.

Reinforcement and improvement work was carried out, and the main gun was replaced in 1940.

The number of 15.5cm guns was increased from 15 to 10, and the planned displacement was increased from 8,500 tons to 12,400 tons.

During the early stages of the Pacific War, she was engaged in operations in the southern area, and in June 1942, during the Battle of Midway, she collided with her sister ship, the Mikuma, and returned to the mainland with her bow still missing.

During the restoration work, the rear of the ship was converted into an aircraft operation deck and modified to accommodate 11 floatplanes.

After that, the ship was equipped with more machine guns and radar, and in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, which followed the Battle of the Philippine Sea, it was damaged by an attack from a waiting American fleet, and was eventually torpedoed by the destroyer Akebono and sunk.
