Aoshima 00819 1/700 Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) Defense ship DD-117 Suzutsuki (Waterline)

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

Suzutsuki, one of the four Akizuki class Destroyers, is a modernized variant of the Takanami class destroyer, commissioned on 12th March 2014. She is equipped with AAW combat system FCS-3A on the bridge, and ESSM is integrated with it. With the new TCM, the ship has high defense capability, and is able to carry two helicopters.

Instructions are in Japanese, but the illustrations are descriptive enough to make assembly a breeze. An excellent addition to any collection of 1/700 ships.

This kit comes molded in gray and black. Includes decals.
