Tamiya Japanese Navy Destroyer Yukikaze - 1/350 Scale Model

Tamiya Japanese Navy Destroyer Yukikaze 1:350 Scale Model Kit

Recreate one of Imperial Japan’s most famous and resilient warships with the Tamiya Japanese Navy Destroyer Yukikaze 1:350 Scale Model Kit – Movie Version. This highly detailed plastic model depicts the legendary IJN Yukikaze as she appeared during the Ten-Ichi-Go Operation in April 1945, her late-war configuration bristling with additional anti-aircraft weaponry and radar.

Produced to commemorate the release of the Japanese feature film YUKIKAZE, this special edition kit combines Tamiya’s renowned engineering quality with historically accurate detailing. At 338mm in length, the model captures the sleek yet battle-hardened profile of one of the few Japanese destroyers to survive the Second World War largely intact.

The hull is moulded in left and right halves, with riveted side plating and degaussing cables finely reproduced for exceptional realism. Metal parts are included for the anchor chain and propellers, enhancing the model’s weight, durability, and authentic appearance. Laser-processed machine gun parts provide crisp, sharp detail rarely seen in standard plastic kits.

Polycaps allow the main gun turrets and torpedo tubes to rotate freely, while the included display stand enables the ship to be showcased in a full-hull configuration. Once completed, the model can even be stored safely back in its original commemorative packaging, making it ideal for collectors as well as builders.

Perfect for experienced ship modellers, WWII historians, and fans of Japanese naval subjects, this Yukikaze kit delivers an impressive balance of scale accuracy, display presence, and build satisfaction.
