Aoshima 006980 1/700 Japanese Navy Destroyer Hatsuharu

Aoshima's Waterline series has been renewed with even greater precision!

Newly designed and carefully examined equipment parts have been incorporated. By implementing multiple slide mechanisms in the molds, the intricate details of the 1/700 scale have been faithfully reproduced. We are excited to present the newly refined Waterline series.

The Hatsuharu-class destroyers were constructed under strict treaty limitations. However, due to their small hull size in relation to their equipment, they faced stability issues until they underwent modifications. This kit represents the lead ship "Hatsuharu", which underwent significant improvements in stability and changed drastically from its original design.
