Hasegawa 40152 - 1/450 J.M.S.D.F. DDG ATAGO: Scale Model Overview

This Hasegawa 40152 kit recreates the J.M.S.D.F. DDG ATAGO in 1/450 scale, offering a compact but faithful snapshot of a modern Japanese destroyer. It is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy precise assembly and a historically grounded subject for display.

Design Background and Kit Highlights

The ATAGO-class is recognised for its integrated radar suites and missile systems, and this kit captures those visual cues with finely moulded parts. The sprues include components that reflect the ship's superstructure and weapon placements for an accurate scale representation.

Assembly Notes and Display Tips

Parts are injection-moulded plastic that demand steady hands and patience; glue and paint are recommended to finish the model to museum-quality standards. Once painted and detailed, the completed hull makes an excellent shelf or cabinet centrepiece.
