Tamiya Waterline Series
Tamiya Shimakaze (1/700)
This 1/700 scale model kit recreates the Imperial Japanese Navy’s destroyer Shimakaze, one of the most advanced and unique warships of her time. Commissioned in 1943, Shimakaze was the only ship of her class and was famed for her extraordinary speed, reaching up to 40.9 knots, powered by a high-output 75,000hp propulsion system. Armed with three quintuple torpedo launchers and a formidable suite of anti-aircraft weaponry, she was intended as a prototype for a new class of high-speed destroyers. Despite her potential, Shimakaze remained a one-off and was sunk in the Battle of Ormoc Bay in November 1944.
- 1/700 scale plastic model assembly kit
- Depicts Shimakaze in her 1944 configuration
- Detailed deck layout including torpedo launchers and AA guns
- Waterline model with realistic hull profile
- Accurate superstructure based on updated research materials
Perfect for naval history enthusiasts and collectors, this kit offers a superb representation of one of the IJN’s most ambitious destroyers, combining speed, power, and distinctive design in one model.
