Shimakaze 1/700 Scale Kit Summary

This Tamiya 31409 release captures the IJN Destroyer Shimakaze in 1/700 scale, modelling the 1944 configuration with its upgraded armament. The ship's notable 7,500hp steam turbine is part of the historical background, while the kit recreates key features such as twin 12.7cm gun turrets and the quintuple torpedo mounts. The supplied die-cast hull inserts give the build authentic heft and improve how the model sits on a base or in a display case.

Are waterslide decals included

Yes, the kit comes with waterslide decals for hull numbers and markings to match the 1944 appearance.

Can I add lighting or extra detail

The kit does not include lighting, but modellers often fit small LEDs and wiring as aftermarket upgrades. Fine rigging and extra weathering are commonly added to enhance realism.

How faithful is the 1944 configuration in the kit

The model reflects the ship's 1944 armament and silhouette as presented by Tamiya, with careful attention to turret and torpedo launcher detail for accurate display builds.
