Hasegawa 40152 - 1/450 J.M.S.D.F. DDG ATAGO: Model Summary

This Hasegawa 40152 release reproduces the J.M.S.D.F. DDG ATAGO at 1/450 scale, focusing on the ship's silhouette and key fittings. It is geared toward hobbyists who appreciate naval subjects with modern system detail.

Background and Notable Kit Parts

The ATAGO-class is noted for advanced sensors and missile armament, and the kit reflects these elements through carefully shaped parts and deck fittings. Modellers will find components that align with the destroyer's profile and equipment layout.

Construction Guidance and Presentation

Made from quality plastic, the kit needs careful trimming and adhesive work; painting brings out panel lines and deck features. Finished models work well in dioramas or on display plinths where scale realism matters.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/450
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Required: Yes, glue recommended
  • Paint: Required for accuracy
The assembled kit will hold together unpainted, but paint is recommended to reveal details and achieve an authentic appearance representative of the ATAGO.
The kit includes key details, though photoetched sets or rigging materials can add realism for those wanting finer scale detail on sensors and railings.
At 1/450, small aircraft, figures or harbour fittings in matching scale will complement the ship for a balanced display scene.
