About product

The destroyer Shimakaze in 1:350 scale from Fujimi

A plastic kit of the Japanese destroyer Shimakaze from the Japanese manufacturer Fujimi. The designation in the name refers to the early form of the vessel and, besides the ship itself, it also mentions crew figures and photo-etched accessories. The larger scale gives room for details that would be lost in a smaller form.

A ship of which there was only one

Shimakaze was built in 1943 as an experimental fast destroyer and remained the only unit of her type. A high-pressure power plant made her the fastest Japanese unit in her category, and her main striking weapon was 610 mm torpedo tubes arranged in quintuple mounts. Her combat career ended in November 1944 during a supply operation in Philippine waters.

What to keep in mind during the work

First dry-fit the hull and decide whether you want the vessel whole or cut off at the waterline. Bend the photo-etched parts on a metal surface and attach them with super glue in short sections. It pays to spray the deck before the superstructures go on it, and to paint the small figures away from the model. Dry brushing with a lighter tone will bring out the rivets and the edges nicely.

Who this piece will please

  • collectors of the Japanese wartime fleet
  • modelers who want a large hull with room to build on
  • anyone interested in fine work with photo-etch
  • builders of water scenes with figures for staffage

The kit comes unassembled and with no finish. Obtain glue and paints separately.

FAQ

In 1:350 scale, which is fairly generous for ships of this kind and makes it possible to fit even the small deck equipment.

She was built as the only example of an experimental fast destroyer with exceptionally strong torpedo armament of 610 mm caliber.

A sharp scalpel, tweezers and a bender are the way to go. Photo-etch is joined with super glue, because ordinary cement for plastic does not hold on it.
