{"product_id":"tam78032","title":"Tamiya 1\/350 Japanese Destroyer Kagero Model Kit - TAM78032","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is model kit of the Japanese Navy Destroyer Kagero. The lead ship of the Kagero class of destroyers included 19 in total. Laid down in September 1937, the Kagero was completed in just over 2 years and was commissioned in November 1939. While the Kagero is recognized as an effective destroyer design, like many of her counterparts she in fact ended up largely doing escort work, sheepherding carriers toward their goal, as she did in the attacks on Pearl Harbor. Later in the war she saw action on the \"Tokyo Express\" runs as destroyers were tasked with supplying and reinforcing beleaguered Japanese garrisons in the Solomons. She met her end at the hand of U.S. mines in 1943.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey design features of the kit\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe aft deck features the additional twin 12.7cm gun turret seen on early- WWII Kagero ships (it was replaced by antiaircraft guns later in the war). New parts depict the paravane and loading practice gun, plus an updated deck surface, to accommodate the new parts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe efficient, uncluttered original Kagero deck is captured with great detail. New parts depict the bridge without radar room. Clear parts are used for windows. The early- WWII Kagero mast features less radar equipment than that on late-war ships such as the model kit of the Japanese Destroyer Yukikaze.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTamiya\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer item\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e78032\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStore SKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTAM78032\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShip Model Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eScale\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/350\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRelated collections\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-ships\"\u003eTamiya Ship Model Kits\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-1-350-ships\"\u003eTamiya 1\/350 Ship Models\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/model-ships\"\u003eModel Ships\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-paints\"\u003eTamiya Paints \u0026amp; Modeling Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-models\"\u003eAll Tamiya Model Kits\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67986347425866,"sku":"TAM78032","price":66.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/megahobby.com\/products\/tam78032","provider":"Mega Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
