Hasegawa 49468 1/700 waterline destroyer plastic model kit - IJN Arashio  [HA-49468]

Hasegawa 49468 - 1/700 IJN Destroyer Arashio (Water Line Series)

The item is a 1/700 scale waterline plastic model kit representing the Imperial Japanese Navy destroyer Arashio, positioned within Hasegawa's waterline series for scale naval modelling.

The destroyer Arashio served with the Imperial Japanese Navy during the World War II era as a fleet destroyer and escort vessel. Vessels of this type were developed in the interwar period to balance speed, armament, and seaworthiness for fleet operations and convoy duties. Arashio-class design and wartime service focused on escorting larger units and engaging enemy surface and submarine threats.

This model reproduces the ship at 1/700 scale for waterline display. The kit is suited to builders who focus on accurate silhouette and deck arrangement at reduced scale. Assembly will require standard modelling skills including trimming, gluing, and finishing; painting and rigging are typically needed to match historical appearances. The kit can be used in multi-ship dioramas or standalone display on a waterline base.

A focused waterline-scale representation of the destroyer Arashio; relevant for builders seeking a compact, display-friendly naval subject.
