Aoshima A006977 1/700 Japanese Navy Destroyer Isokaze

Built at the Sasebo Naval Arsenal as the 12th ship of the Kagero-class destroyers, the Isokaze fought from the attack on Pearl Harbor until she was destroyed by gunfire in the Battle of Boso.

Aoshima's "Waterline" model-kit series has been renewed with more precision! This 1/700-scale kit of the Isokaze depicts her as she was in the latter half of the war, with the turret removed and anti-aircraft machine guns added. The parts configuration focuses on the essentials, making this kit simple and easy to assemble. Various equipment such as the main guns and machine guns are newly designed; slide molding is used to achieve precision and accuracy.

Newly molded parts include:

• 12.7cm twin gun Type C
• Type 92 61cm quadruple torpedo tube
• Type 96 twin 25mm machine gun
• Type 96 triple 25mm machine gun
• Type 94 depth charge projector
• Type 22 radar
• Type 13 radar
• Direction finder
• 90cm searchlight
