Product Description
[Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Escort Ship Murasame]
Murasame was laid down in 1993 as a 4,400-ton escort ship and commissioned in 1996.
It was assigned to the 48th Escort Division, 1st Escort Flotilla, with its home port in Yokosuka.
The hull has been designed to enhance aviation capabilities and improve habitability, and the hull shape has been made slender to reduce navigation noise and improve seakeeping and wave-breaking capabilities.
In addition, the hull and superstructure are sloped as an anti-radar measure.
A short-range SAM vertical launcher is located between the central chimneys, giving the ship the capability to operate Sea Sparrows.
The main guns consist of one 76mm rapid-fire gun and two 20mm machine guns.
It is also equipped with Type 90 ship-to-ship guided missiles, anti-submarine weapons, and triple 324mm short-range torpedo tubes.
The ship is equipped with one SH-60J or SH-60k helicopter.
Nine second-generation general-purpose destroyers, with the Murasame as the lead ship, were built between 1991 and 1998.
The kit is a composite material kit consisting of resin parts, etched parts, metal parts, and 3D printed parts.
This kit is packed with precision and detail that completely dispels the impression of conventional resin parts kits, and it could easily be mistaken for a 1/350 scale kit.
