A new mold kit (No. 43132), that is to be released by August 24th, It has the option to be assembled as one of two vessels. The four Agano-class cruisers were all named after Japanese rivers.

Larger than previous Japanese light cruisers they were fast, but with little protection, and were under-gunned for their size. They participated in numerous actions during World War II.

The design for the Agano class was based on technologies developed by the Yūbari, resulting in a graceful and uncluttered deck line and single smokestack. Unlike most Japanese designs, the Agano class was not overweight, so it exhibited good stability and seaworthiness.

This kit is available for pre-order at Hobby Link Japan for ¥2,240 ($18.05 USD).
