Aoshima 04817 - 1/700 JMSDF Missile Boat Hayabusa Umitaka 2-Ship Set

This Aoshima 1/700 kit recreates the compact Hayabusa Umitaka missile boats in miniature. The pair delivers accurate proportions and component detail so modellers can represent modern JMSDF patrol and strike units on display.

Why This Model Matters

The Hayabusa-class is known for its speed and coastal role. This kit translates key features into 1/700 scale, making it a practical subject for those building contemporary naval collections or coastal action dioramas.

Build Advice and Presentation

Intermediate skills are recommended to handle the small fittings. Use fine brushes, careful masking and thin coats of paint to keep panel detail sharp; the set looks best when both ships are finished and shown together.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Recommended for realistic finish
Check the kit box contents; many Aoshima ship kits include basic decals for hull numbers and markings, but aftermarket decals are available for extra detail.
Use 1/700 scale photo-etch sets, display bases and small crew figures where available to enhance realism without overwhelming the small scale.
Thin your paints and apply multiple light coats. A magnifier and a steady rest will help with tiny fittings like masts and weapon systems.
