1/700 Aoshima 06961 Akigumo WL445 scale destroyer

The Aoshima 06961 1/700 Akigumo WL445 is a faithful small-scale representation of the Kagero-class destroyer, giving modellers a chance to build a historically informed naval subject. It is tailored to hobbyists who enjoy precise assembly and painting.

Notable wartime service

Akigumo saw service with the Imperial Japanese Navy in the 1940s and was involved in several significant operations. The kit captures the key structural elements that identify the ship class.

Parts and assembly quality

Produced at 1/700, the sprues include crisply formed parts that require thoughtful construction. Fine details reward careful glueing, trimming and paint work for a realistic finish.

Compact display appeal

Once built, the Akigumo becomes a compact conversation piece ideal for display on a shelf or in a cabinet alongside other 1/700 vessels.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for accurate finish
Basic modelling tools like sprue cutters, hobby knife, fine files, tweezers and plastic cement are recommended to handle the small components cleanly.
Yes, the kit typically includes printed decals for markings, but careful application and a clear coat will improve durability and appearance.
Modders often enhance 1/700 kits with photo-etched parts or rigging thread for extra realism. These upgrades require steady hands and some experience.
