Hatsushimo 1/700 Scale Kit Introduction

The Aoshima 04579 kit presents a 1/700 scale rendition of the Hatsushimo, a late war Japanese destroyer from 1945. As a Water Line Series release, it captures the vessel profile and deck arrangements typical of its era, making it a useful piece for historical modelling projects.

Assembly is intended for hobbyists comfortable with small parts and careful painting; the kit balances fine detail with a scale that remains practical for display. It is well suited to fleet scenes or standalone presentation on a base.

What tools are recommended for assembly?

Basic modelling tools such as sprue cutters, hobby knife, fine files, and tweezers are recommended. Quality model glue and fine brushes or an airbrush improve the final finish.

Can this kit be upgraded with aftermarket parts?

Yes, builders often add photoetched details or resin parts to enhance railings, radars, and small fittings. These upgrades require additional tools and patience but boost realism.
