Chibi-Maru Fleet Kagero is a stylized plastic kit of the Japanese destroyer Kagero in a non-scale, deliberately foreshortened form from the Japanese brand Fujimi.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Chibi-Maru Fleet range from the Japanese manufacturer Fujimi translates real warships into a foreshortened, cartoon-like form. The hull is only a few centimeters long, but the superstructures, the funnels and the armament keep the shape by which you will recognize the subject. The model therefore has no scale and cannot be lined up with scale ships. The package contains injection-molded plastic parts; the exact contents of the package and the number of parts are stated on the box and in the instructions.
Kagero was the first ship of the Japanese destroyer class of the same name, brought into service at the end of the 1930s. The Kagero class came about as a fast torpedo and escort unit with 12.7 cm guns in twin gun turrets and with torpedo tubes for large-caliber torpedoes, supplemented by a stock of reload torpedoes. The ships of this class were employed across the whole Pacific, mainly around the Solomon Islands. Kagero herself was lost in 1943 in that area. The stylized model takes her typical low bow, the pair of funnels and the torpedo tubes amidships.
A short hull has large smooth surfaces on which every seam stands out, so sand the parting line before painting and fill it if necessary. Separate small items such as the masts and the gun barrels with a sharp knife or with nippers only just before gluing. The painting procedure is the same as on scale ships, only smaller: a gray base, a darker shade on the deck, a thin wash into the recesses and a dry brush on the edges of the superstructures. Because of the small area, apply the paint in thin coats so that the engraved detail does not fill in. The model stands stably on its own.
The model is supplied unassembled. Paints, glue and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
