Navis Neptun 1/1250 1231A IJN Suzuya a Mogami Class Heavy Cruiser 1942

Suzuya is a 1/1250 scale, metal, waterline model of a Japanese heavy cruiser by Neptun 1231A. Originally built as a large light cruiser with 15x6" guns, the Mogami class Cruisers were modified to carry 10x8" guns, as modelled here. Mikuma and Mogami were similar to this model in 1942 at the Battle of Midway. Mikuma was sunk but Mogami was re-built as a seaplane carrying cruiser (see Neptun 1231).
