Fujimi FH-49EX-1 1/700 Japanese Navy Light Cruiser Noshiro Full Hull Model (with Etched Parts)

Recreate the final battle-ready configuration of Japan's Agano-class cruiser with this detailed 1/700 scale replica. The kit presents Noshiro as it appeared during the decisive Leyte Gulf engagement, complete with its full radar suite and enhanced anti-aircraft armament.
