Tamiya 78032 1/350 IJN Destroyer Kagero Historical Kit  [78032]

Presentation of the Tamiya 78032 - 1/350 IJN Destroyer Kagero

The Tamiya 78032 kit offers an accurate scale recreation of the destroyer Kagero as she appeared at the beginning of World War II. As the lead ship of her class, Kagero was engaged in several early operations and this model captures the ship's initial fittings for collectors and modellers focused on period detail.

Design Background and Notable Features

Entered service in 1939, Kagero was respected for its seakeeping and escort capabilities. The model reproduces the early fit with the twin 12.7cm aft turret and a bridge without radar facilities, as well as the simpler mast structure typical of the time.

Craftsmanship and Presentation

Photo-etched parts and clear components are included to lift the level of finish. The kit allows either waterline display or a full hull build and comes with a stand for presentation. Moulded hull panel lines, degaussing cable detail and metal anchor and shaft parts demonstrate Tamiya craftsmanship.
