Navis Neptun 1/1250 1244A Naka, a Japanese light cruiser in WW2

Naka is a second-hand, 1'1250 scale, waterline, metal model of the Japanese light cruiser in WW2. The model is by Neptun, and the catalogue number is 1244A.  This model is in very good original condition, see photograph. All Navis Neptun models have been out of production for the last five years.

This was the first Japanese cruiser to be built with the distinctive clipper bow. Sistership Jintsu gained one after a collision but Sendai retained the original bow shape until she was sunk (see Neptun 1244). The model represents the condition of both Naka and Jintsu during WW2.
