Tamiya 31404 1/700 IJN Destroyer Hatsuyuki Scale Model Kit  [31404]

Hatsuyuki 1/700 Fubuki-class Destroyer Replica

The Tamiya 31404 1/700 scale representation of IJN DD Hatsuyuki lets Canadian hobbyists recreate a notable naval design. As the third vessel of the Fubuki-class "Special Type" destroyers, Hatsuyuki is remembered for both its advanced design and the 1935 typhoon damage to its bow that led to fleet-wide structural reinforcement. The kit depicts the ship with upgraded anti-aircraft fittings, making it a solid pick for display or diorama use.
