Aoshima 04817 - 1/700 JMSDF Missile Boat Hayabusa Umitaka 2-Ship Set

This Aoshima 1/700 scale kit recreates the JMSDF Missile Boat Hayabusa Umitaka with careful attention to hull lines and superstructure. The pair set captures the compact, high-speed profile of the Hayabusa-class, giving modellers an authentic modern naval subject to assemble and display.

Operational Background and Modelling Notes

The Hayabusa-class missile boats are designed for fast coastal patrol and quick strike missions, and this kit reflects those design priorities. The parts layout and scale fidelity make it a good pick for collectors who want a realistic miniature representation of contemporary JMSDF craft without extensive conversion work.

Assembly Tips and Display Potential

Suited to intermediate builders, the kit benefits from careful trimming and paint layering to bring out panel lines and deck detail. Once completed, the duo forms an attractive pair for a shelf display or a diorama focused on littoral operations.
