Why this kit matters
The Japanese Navy Destroyer Minegumo was a member of the Asashio-class destroyers, which saw extensive service during World War II. These destroyers were known for their speed, powerful torpedo armament, and participation in numerous naval battles throughout the Pacific Theater. The Minegumo's career was cut short in 1943 during the Battle of the Blackett Strait.
This model kit allows you to recreate the Minegumo in detailed miniature, capturing the essence of Imperial Japanese Navy destroyer design. The full hull option provides versatility in display, while the intricate details make for an engaging building experience. The finished model is a great tribute to the sailors and ships of WWII.
