Aoshima 04817 - 1/700 JMSDF Missile Boat Hayabusa Umitaka 2-Ship Set

The Aoshima 1/700 Hayabusa Umitaka kit provides a faithful miniature of JMSDF missile boats, emphasising the low silhouette and weapon placements characteristic of the class. It is well suited to collectors who want contemporary naval pieces in a small footprint.

Context and Model Relevance

Hayabusa-class vessels are built for rapid coastal response and missile delivery. This kit shows those traits in scaled form and is a useful study piece for builders interested in modern fast-attack naval craft and littoral operations.

Crafting the Finished Model

Expect a rewarding build if you take care with seam lines and navigation fittings. Detailing and paint selection are key to conveying the functional look of JMSDF patrol craft, and the two-ship format offers variety for display or diorama work.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Recommended for realistic finish
Beginners can attempt the kit but should expect small parts and tight tolerances. Start with practice on spare sprues and use thin glue to avoid marks.
Yes. Aftermarket photo-etched sets and fine rigging thread can improve railings and radar arrays if you want higher fidelity.
A muted grey-green or standard naval grey matched to reference photos will give the most authentic JMSDF appearance.
Keep completed models in a dust-free cabinet away from direct sunlight to preserve paints and glue joints over time.
