Hasegawa 49031 - 1/700 Izumo J.M.S.D.F. DDH Model Kit - modern fleet favourite  [HA-49031]

1/700 Izumo DDH kit from Hasegawa 49031

This 1/700 scale Hasegawa kit models the Izumo-class helicopter destroyer with clear attention to hull form and deck layout. It belongs to the Water Line Series, a trusted choice for realistic ship modelling at small scale.

Operational Profile and Accuracy

The Izumo-class functions as a helicopter carrier and afloat command ship, reflected in the model's deck and superstructure design. The kit aims to mirror those operational traits in miniature, useful for modern naval collections.

Tips for Builders

Prepare for a build that rewards neat assembly and careful painting. Key areas to focus on include the flight deck markings, bridge details and the hangar openings. Use fine tools for trimming and consider an airbrush for even hull coats.

Suitability for Collections

Once finished, the model presents a convincing representation of contemporary ship design and fits well with other 1/700 subjects for display or modelling projects.
