About product

Destroyer Matsu 1:700 (Tamiya, Waterline Series)

An injection-molded plastic kit in 1:700 scale from the Waterline series. The model is built as a waterline kit with a flat bottom, so it stands flat like a ship afloat. It faithfully captures the simple straight shapes of the hull and the superstructure and the second funnel offset to starboard. The package contains waterslide decals and illustrated instructions.

The real subject

The Matsu was the lead ship of the class of the same name of simplified escort destroyers that Japan built toward the end of the war to make up for growing losses. The design relied on flat surfaces and hard edges to save time and material. The ships carried strong anti-aircraft armament in the form of many 25mm guns.

Building and painting tips

A waterline model needs no stand. Separate the fine parts of the anti-aircraft armament carefully, glue them with liquid cement for plastic, and photo-etched railings from accessory sets raise the realism. The hull is sprayed in a shade of Japanese naval gray, and final weathering and picking out the panels add depth.

Who the model is for

  • collectors of the Japanese fleet of the Second World War
  • modelers interested in late escort destroyers
  • beginners in 1:700 scale
  • makers of ship dioramas

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
