Product Detail

Aoshima's 1/700-scale 'Waterline' series model kit of the Japanese Navy destroyer Akizuki, built as an air defense destroyer and known for having shot down a B-17 bomber, has been renewed with more precision! The parts structure is simple and easy to assemble for accurate reproduction; various equipment such as the 10cm high-angle gun and carrier-based boats, which are characteristic of Akizuki-class destroyers, have been newly designed.

Some of the parts are slide-molded for density and precision; in addition to armaments such as destroyer main guns and machine guns, carrier-based aircraft and various equipment have been updated. The outfitting parts (Type 96 25mm twin machine gun, 70cm signal searchlight, direction finder antenna, Type 98 10cm twin high-angle gun, Type 92 quadruple torpedo tube, Type 94 depth charge thrower, quart tranny davit, radial davit, 7m fire boat, 7m cutter, and small anchor) have been renewed with new molds.
