Ahoy Shipmates!!!

Hasegawa USA is pleased to announce the upcoming release of the IJN Cruiser Noshiro in 1/350. The kit represents the ship as she sailed into the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

What would be the difference between this kit and the Yahagi and Agano?

If you are asking what the differences would be between the three Cruisers, and what would be needed to convert one to another, this should point you in the right direction:

Agano light cruisers

Julian: Thanks for the heads up mate.

Greg: Visually, you are looking at some very minor differences that wouldn't really be noticeable to someone who wasn't familiar with these ships. Even in this scale a trained eye may only pick out two extra guns. Again refer to the link I posted for specifics.
