Tamiya 31404 1/700 IJN Destroyer Hatsuyuki Detailed Kit  [31404]

1/700 Scale IJN Hatsuyuki - Fubuki-class Detail

The Tamiya 31404 captures the IJN destroyer Hatsuyuki in 1/700 scale, offering New Zealand scale modellers a chance to build a historically significant vessel. Hatsuyuki, the third Fubuki-class "Special Type" destroyer, gained attention after its bow was damaged in the 1935 typhoon, an event that led the navy to reinforce later ships. The kit shows the destroyer with its revised anti-aircraft fit and period appearance.
