1/450 Hyuga by Hasegawa 40154: Scale Accuracy for Model Fleets

The Hasegawa 1/450 scale model of the J.M.S.D.F. DDH Hyuga lets modellers recreate a contemporary helicopter destroyer with an emphasis on correct proportions. The kit captures the ship's silhouette and key structural elements, making it a good match for collectors building naval groupings.

Modelling Highlights and Real-World Parallels

The Hyuga in service features a full-length flight deck and sensor arrays, and this kit reflects those characteristics through carefully moulded components. Modellers will find separate parts for the superstructure and deck that help convey the vessel's operational profile.

Tips for Building and Displaying

Assembly calls for attention to small fittings and careful paint application to bring out panel lines and deck details. When finished, the 1/450 scale size provides a neat display option that complements other modern naval models.
