Plastic model kit: Light Cruiser IJN Agano 1:350 Hasegawa 40076

The Japanese light cruiser Agano, launched in 1941, was the lead ship of its class, designed as a destroyer leader. These ships were characterized by a high maximum speed of up to 35 knots and strong torpedo armament, making them effective in fast night attacks and escort operations. Agano participated in key battles in the Pacific, including the fights for Guadalcanal and the battle near the Bay of Empress Augusta.

Original history:

Agano entered service in the Imperial Japanese Navy in October 1942. Despite its modern design and great seaworthiness, the cruiser fell victim to American submarine warfare. On February 17, 1944, while sailing towards Japan, the ship was torpedoed and sunk by the submarine USS Skate.
