Accurate 1/350 IJN Shimakaze Reproduction

This Hasegawa 40029 kit recreates the Imperial Japanese Navy Shimakaze in 1/350 scale, highlighting the destroyer's reputation for high speed and advanced torpedo armament during World War II. The late-war configuration is represented with careful attention to hull lines and superstructure detail, making it a solid pick for naval modellers seeking historical accuracy.

Targeted at seasoned hobbyists, the kit contains finely cast plastic components that require precise assembly and painting to reach their full potential. When built and finished well, the finished model makes an impressive display piece and a useful study of Japanese destroyer design evolution.

  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires assembly
  • Paint and Decals: Not included, recommended for enhanced realism

How difficult is assembly for this kit?

This kit is best suited to builders with intermediate to advanced experience due to small parts and thin fittings; expect to use fine tools, careful gluing, and some filler work for seams.

What finishing materials are recommended?

Use scale-appropriate acrylic or enamel paints and a set of aftermarket decals or stencils for accurate markings; fine brushes and weathering washes will help bring out small details.

Can I add photo-etched parts or rigging?

Yes, the hull and superstructure accept aftermarket photo-etched sets and fine rigging line; these upgrades improve realism but increase build complexity.
