Pit Road 1/700 Japanese Navy Special Type Destroyer Shirayuki with New Equipment Parts

Commissioned in 1928 as the second of the special-type destroyers, Shirayuki participated in the Battle of the End of the Pea, the Battle of Batavia, and the Battle of Savo Island. She was particularly active in the Battle of the End of the Pea, where she repelled the British destroyer Vampire and sank the Thanet, rescuing survivors. However, on March 3, 1944, during the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, she was hit by a recoil attack from a U.S. aircraft, which ignited her aft ammunition storehouse, causing an explosion and leading to her sinking. This model recreates the appearance of the special-type destroyer Shirayuki in 1941. The included new equipment set NE07, "1/700 Japanese Navy New Ship Equipment Set 7," allows for even more accurate modeling. Choose from offshore or full-hull models. Includes one ship.
