The Pit-Road 1/700 Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer FFM-5 Yahagi plastic model kit (J110 30FFM) is a model of the Mogami-class multi-functional mine warfare frigate, equipped with mine warfare sonar, autonomous underwater mine detectors (UUVs), and unmanned surface aerial vehicles (USVs) for mine clearance. It is a state-of-the-art destroyer specializing in mine countermeasures against advanced mines. With improved stealth capabilities in mind, most of the equipment is installed on the inside of the sloping sides of the hull, and it has a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from previous destroyers, with a unicorn-shaped composite antenna and a pyramidal mast equipped with multi-functional radars on all four sides. The fifth ship, Yahagi, entered service in May 2024, and the sixth ship, Agano, entered service in June, both belonging to the 14th Destroyer Division at Maizuru Base. Next, the 7th ship, "Niyodo," is scheduled to enter service in December 2024, and the 8th ship, "Yubetsu," in March of the following year. ・1/700 scale plastic model ・Waterline model/full hull model selectable ・Some hatches can be opened or closed ・Includes autonomous underwater mine detector UUV, mine-clearing unmanned surface vehicle USV, and OQQ-25 sonar ・The forward deck can be built either with or without VLS installed ・Includes one SH-60K patrol helicopter ・Decals for the 5th ship "Yahagi," 6th ship "Agano," 7th ship "Niyodo," and 8th ship "Yubetsu" are included ・Finished size: 190mm in length ・1 ship included *The image shows an assembled and painted model. *This product is a plastic model that requires assembly and painting. *Assembly and painting require separate adhesives, tools, paints, etc. *"Plastic Model" is a registered trademark owned by the Japan Plastic Model Manufacturers Association. *This product does not include adhesive, paint, tools, batteries, etc. *To safely enjoy building this model kit, it is important to avoid high temperatures, high humidity, and direct sunlight, and to build it in a well-ventilated area.
