Tamiya 31401 Fubuki 1/700 Scale Destroyer Model Kit  [31401]

Detailed Tamiya 1/700 Japanese Destroyer Fubuki Kit Overview

The Tamiya 1/700 Japanese Destroyer Fubuki model kit recreates one of the most influential destroyers of the period. As the lead unit of the Fubuki class, this ship set new benchmarks with a larger hull, raised freeboard and heavier armament. Modelers who enjoy period accuracy will find this kit rewarding for display and study.

Design Impact and Period Equipment

Fubuki-class destroyers helped change how navies thought about destroyer roles, earning the informal "Special Type" label for their advanced layout. The kit reflects signature fittings such as twin 12.7cm gun turrets and substantial torpedo gear, captured with careful molding to highlight the ship's compact but potent silhouette.

Build Notes for Modelers

This kit targets builders who value fine detail and historical correctness. Small parts such as searchlights and torpedo racks are crisply reproduced. Waterslide decals and metal components for buoyancy detail are included, and glue assembly allows for accurate placement and finishing.
