Introducing the Tamiya 78032 - 1/350 Scale IJN Destroyer Kagero

The Tamiya 78032 captures the wartime profile of the destroyer Kagero with clean moulding and historically minded details. As a class leader, Kagero took part in major early wartime operations and this model recreates her initial wartime fit for modellers who focus on period correctness.

Background and Key Visual Details

Launched at the end of the 1930s, the Kagero was prized for seaworthiness and escort duties. The kit reproduces the early configuration with the twin 12.7cm aft turret and the bridge without radar housing, alongside the simpler mast seen before later wartime upgrades.

Assembly Notes and Detail Parts

Included photo-etched pieces and clear parts increase fidelity around the superstructure and windows. Options for full hull or waterline builds are provided, plus a display stand. Attention to hull panel seams, degaussing cable routing and metal parts for anchors and shafts reflects Tamiya attention to detail.
