Scenery Shimakaze Port

Description
Make a superb diorama with the contents of this special kit, which pairs the Water Line Series Shimakaze (Item 31460) with detailed paper accessories depicting structures typically seen in naval ports of the era. The Shimakaze was to end up the only ship of her class, partially due to carriers and their aircraft reducing destroyer effectiveness, and compounded by the lack of production capacity as Japan felt the squeeze of a worsening war situation. Despite her fleeting service life, however, she was still able to prove that she was a worthwhile design, as the fastest and most powerful of the Japanese destroyers.

• The slimline Shimakaze hull is recreated using left and right halves.
