IJN Heavy Cruiser Nachi was the second of four Myōkō-class heavy cruisers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy — the other ships of the class being Myōkō, Ashigara and Haguro. She was named after a mountain in Wakayama Prefecture. The ships of this class were 659 ft long and capable of 41 mph. They carried two floatplanes, their main armament was ten 203 mm (8.0 in) guns in five twin turrets. This was the heaviest armament of any cruiser class in the world, at the time they were built. Nachi was in Manila Bay on 5 November 1944 when she was attacked by three waves of US planes from the aircraft carriers USS Lexington and Ticonderoga of Task Force 38. In the engagement, Nachi was hit at least nine times with torpedoes as well as rockets. She was broken by two big explosions into three parts and sank in the middle of a large oil slick. Of the crew, 807 were lost, including the captain while 220 survived.  Features Detailed hull and super-structure that faithfully reproduces the actual ship Molded in gray and red Contains 96 pieces Includes waterslide decals with authentic markings Illustrated assembly guide
