Tamiya 31402 1/700 IJN Shiratsuyu Destroyer Model Kit - Scale Collector  [31402]

Tamiya 31402 1/700 IJN DD Shiratsuyu - Scale Warship Reproduction

The Tamiya 1/700 scale Shiratsuyu model reproduces this WWII Japanese destroyer with refined detail. As the class leader, Shiratsuyu reflected design changes to earlier destroyers, and the class saw active service during the war though none survived.

Historical Role and Construction Details

Completed in 1936, the vessel was outfitted with five 12.7cm guns and two quadruple 61cm torpedo launchers, elements that this kit faithfully renders. The model highlights the ship's armament layout and hull profile for authentic representation.

Assembly and Finish Considerations

This kit is tailored to modellers who seek accuracy in small-scale naval builds. The finished model spans 157mm and comes with waterslide decals and a clear pictorial guide to help with assembly, painting and final presentation.
