Tamiya 25417 - 1/700 Shimakaze with dockside scenery

The Tamiya 25417 1/700 Shimakaze kit combines a highly modelled destroyer and a compact dock scene so builders can stage a convincing naval tableau. The kit gives modellers everything needed to create a small-scale harbour display.

Why the Shimakaze Interests Modellers

Renowned for its speed and advanced torpedo outfit during World War II, the Shimakaze represents an era of naval engineering innovation. Its silhouette and deck fittings make it an appealing subject for scale replication.

Build and Display Notes

With accurate moulding and clear assembly guides, the kit is rewarding to build. The included port scenery enhances shelf presence and encourages creative finishing such as weathering and dockside detailing.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: polystyrene (PS)
  • Assembly: requires glue for parts
  • Includes: naval port scenery set

What level of modelling skill is recommended?

The kit is best for modellers with some experience. Tiny fittings and rigging require careful handling, though the instructions are clear for stepwise assembly.

Are decals included and how do they apply?

Decals included with the kit should be applied over a smooth paint finish. Use decal setting solution where needed and seal them with a clear coat to protect the markings.

Can I combine this kit with other 1/700 ships?

Yes. The 1/700 scale is standard for many naval kits, so you can create larger fleet displays or mixed harbour scenes using other compatible models.
