[KG-23] 1/700 MAYA FULL HUL Model

Experience the formidable presence of the Japanese Navy Heavy Cruiser Maya with this highly detailed 1/700 scale full hull model kit. As the third vessel in the distinguished Takao-class, the Maya was a powerful heavy cruiser, launched in November 1930 and commissioned into service in June 1932. This kit allows enthusiasts to build a complete representation of the ship, showcasing its full hull design.

The Takao-class cruisers were notable for their design, which adhered to the limitations of the Washington Disarmament Treaty while incorporating improvements over the preceding Myoko-class. These enhancements included new main artillery cannons, improved armor, an expanded bow superstructure, and a more efficient layout for torpedo armament. The Maya herself boasted a length of 203 meters, a width of 18.3 meters, and a top speed of 35.5 knots. Her impressive armament included ten 203mm guns in five twin turrets, four 120mm cannons, and originally eight 610mm torpedo tubes, a number later increased to sixteen.

This Fujimi kit captures the essence of this iconic warship, providing a rewarding building experience for modelers.
