About the Model
♦This is a 1/700 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 190mm, width: 23mm. ♦The highly modern low-observability design of the ship and its superstructures is artfully captured. ♦Mast parts are slide molded for a modeler-friendly assembly experience without sacrificing detail. ♦Superstructure elements are assembled in individual blocks which can be snap-fitted into the hull without the need for cement. ♦Choose between open and closed helicopter hangar shutters. ♦The main gun is movable and features barrel elevation. ♦Features 0.4mm thickness antenna components. ♦Decals are included to recreate the first six ships of this class. Deck decals save time on the paint job.

The highly modern low observability design is a fresh new presence in the venerable Water Line Series.
Central superstructures are assembled as individual blocks which can then be inserted into the hull without needing cement.
The pyramidal "UNICORN" mast is another distinctive feature of the FFM-1 Mogami.
The mast is a slide-molded part, allowing a faithful 3D depiction without rendering the assembly process overcomplex.

Sea-to-sea missile launchers and whip antenna are finely detailed separate parts.
A poly cap in the L/62 5-inch gun lets you rotate it. It can also be elevated!
A minute SH-60K helicopter and JMSDF flag sheet are also included.
The inside of the helicopter hangar is depicted, and is slotted into the hull without cementing.

Choose whether to have the hangar shutter up or down.
Helicopter rotors can be depicted out or folded away.
The decal sheet includes markings for the first 6 ships in this class, plus deck details.
