Hasegawa 30059 1/700 Japanese Destroyer Yugumo 'Hyper Detail'

Model Ship Kit

A refined representation of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s late-war destroyer design, this kit captures the Yūgumo-class at the height of its operational effectiveness, when Japanese destroyer doctrine emphasized powerful torpedo armament and high-speed night engagements. The lead ship, Yūgumo, saw extensive action throughout the Pacific, including the Solomons campaign, culminating in her final engagement off Vella Lavella in 1943 where she pressed a determined attack against U.S. forces before being overwhelmed—a fitting testament to the aggressive tactics these vessels were built for. Hasegawa’s Hyper Detail treatment elevates this subject with finely rendered molding and photo-etched enhancements, allowing the experienced builder to fully realize the delicate lines, latticework, and weaponry that defined the class.
