Aoshima 1/700 Waterline Imperial Japanese Navy Destroyer Hatsuharu (Plastic Model)

Aoshima's Waterline series has been meticulously redesigned to enhance precision!

The ship fittings have been newly researched and designed. Numerous slide mechanisms have been incorporated into the molds, accurately recreating the intricate details at a 1/700 scale. We are pleased to present the renewed Waterline series with increased precision.

The Hatsuharu-class destroyer was constructed under strict treaty limitations. However, its hull was too small for its equipment, leading to stability issues until it was remodeled. This kit represents the "Hatsuharu," the lead ship, with improved stability and significant changes from its original construction, now available as a 1/700 scale plastic model kit. Featuring a thoughtfully arranged parts structure, it is easy to assemble while accurately reproducing details. Newly designed torpedo launchers and various fittings, such as boats, have been added.
