Hasegawa 49468 — Waterline Series: Arashio in 1/700

The kit is a 1/700 scale waterline plastic model depicting the Imperial Japanese Navy destroyer Arashio, released under Hasegawa's waterline range for naval modelling.

Arashio operated as a fleet destroyer and escort during the World War II period. Designs from the interwar years aimed to combine speed, armament, and seakeeping for operational duties; during wartime the class typically performed escorting and anti-surface/submarine roles.

This scale model represents the vessel for waterline exhibition. It is aimed at modellers who value accurate deck plans and hull silhouette in reduced scale. Building the kit will involve routine modelling tasks such as trimming, adhesive assembly, painting, and rigging to reach a detailed finish. The model works well in multi-ship displays or as a standalone waterline exhibit.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Assembly: Plastic model kit
  • Format: Waterline kit

A compact waterline portrayal of the Arashio, useful for hobbyists assembling fleet compositions or standalone displays.

The model is 1/700 scale and supplied as a waterline kit, intended to be displayed sitting on the waterline rather than as a full-hull model.
Detailing is appropriate for 1/700 waterline subjects, showing deck fittings and superstructure silhouettes. For closer-scale realism many modellers add aftermarket detailing sets or refine parts during assembly.
Conversion is possible but requires substantial work and additional parts. Many builders prefer to use the kit as intended for ease of display and compatibility with other waterline ships.
Yes. The 1/700 waterline scale is commonly used across manufacturers, so this kit will generally match other 1/700 waterline ships for fleet arrangements, though paint and finishing choices affect visual cohesion.
