Japanese Light Cruiser Nagara

The 5500 ton Nagara class light cruisers were built on the British model in the late 1910s.
This model shows the Nagara, the lead ship of this 6 vessel class.
Her simple, speed-oriented design and features such as the "spoon bow" betray her British influences. During World War II, she saw action in many battles from the Philippines to Midway before being sunk by a US submarine in 1944.
The model shows how she looked in her final form, with additional anti-aircraft guns fitted.
