Detailed 1/700 Shimakaze Overview

The Tamiya 31409 kit reproduces the IJN Destroyer Shimakaze at 1/700 scale, representing the 1944 fit with its upgraded weapons and profile. The ship's high-speed 7,500hp steam turbine is noted in the historic reference, while the kit captures key fittings including twin 12.7cm gun turrets and quintuple torpedo launchers. Die-cast hull inserts are supplied to add realistic weight and presence, making the completed model a strong centrepiece for a collector's display or diorama.

What is included in the box

The kit contains injection-moulded plastic parts for assembly, die-cast hull inserts for added weight, and waterslide decals for markings.

Is painting necessary to finish the model

Yes, painting is recommended to achieve the correct wartime colour scheme and to bring out the fine detail on the turrets and superstructure.

What skill level is this kit best suited for

This kit is best for intermediate to experienced modellers due to small parts and precise assembly steps; take your time with subassemblies and decal placement.
