About this product
1/700 LIGHT CRUISER KITAKAMI KAITEN CARRIER
After the construction of the Tenryū-class cruisers, the drawbacks of the small cruiser concept became apparent. At the end of 1917, plans for an additional six Tenryū-class vessels, plus three new-design 7,200 ton-class scout cruisers were shelved, in place of an intermediate 5,500 ton-class vessel which could be used as both a long-range, high-speed reconnaissance ship and also as a command vessel for destroyer or submarine flotillas. Kitakami was the third in a series of five vessels in this class which was built from 1918-1921.
