She was the final heavy cruiser to be built by the Japanese Navy and featured a distinctive design which concentrated four twin 20.3cm main gun turrets forward of the bridge in order to allow unimpeded launching of her six floatplanes from the aft deck during battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChikuma often accompanied the Japanese Navy's aircraft carriers since her floatplanes provided considerable reconnaissance capabilities to the fleet, and she was present at such important engagements as the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Midway. She continued to serve valiantly until her demise at the hands of U.S. carrier aircraft during the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChikuma Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard displacement: 11,200 tons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 201.6m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Output: 152,000hp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Speed: 35 knots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmament: Twin 20.3cm Gun Turrets x4, Twin 12.7cm Gun Turrets x4, Triple 61cm Torpedo Launchers x4, Twin 25mm Gun Mounts x6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAircraft: Kawanishi E7K and Nakajima E8N Reconnaissance Floatplanes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a 1\/350 scale plastic assembly kit of the Japanese Heavy Cruiser Chikuma.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 576mm, Beam: 71mm.
