Tamiya 31401 1/700 Scale Fubuki Naval Model  [31401]

Tamiya 1/700 Scale Japanese Destroyer Fubuki Model Summary

The Tamiya 1/700 Japanese Destroyer Fubuki kit brings a landmark destroyer to scale with care. The Fubuki class stood out with a roomy hull form, higher freeboard and heavier weapon fit compared with contemporaries, and this model captures those defining lines for display or diorama use.

Why the Fubuki Class Mattered

These "Special Type" destroyers influenced destroyer design by combining heavier gun armament and potent torpedo batteries in a relatively compact platform. The kit reproduces key elements like twin 12.7cm gun mounts and prominent torpedo launchers with clean molding detail.

Assembly and Finish

Intended for builders who like accurate small-scale work, the kit includes delicate parts such as searchlights and torpedo gear. Waterslide decals and metal components for hull detail are supplied, and glue assembly allows careful fitting and paint finishing to match the era.
