Hasegawa 1/700 J.M.S.D.F. DDG Kirishima - Precision Build Overview

The Hasegawa 49028 kit recreates the J.M.S.D.F. DDG Kirishima in 1/700 scale with careful attention to hull lines and superstructure layout. This plastic assembly kit aims to mirror the real vessel's form and is suited to hobbyists who enjoy fine detail work and accurate scale representation.

Service Role and Design Background

The Kirishima belongs to the Kongo-class of destroyers, noted for integrating the Aegis combat system into Japan's maritime defence forces. Building this model provides context on modern fleet air defence and the engineering choices behind contemporary destroyer design.

Assembly Characteristics and Display Potential

Parts are crisply molded for precise joins and realistic silhouette when finished. The kit demands careful trimming and careful gluing, rewarding builders with a display-ready model that complements other 1/700 naval collections.
