Fujimi Models - Collectible Warship Series - No. 34 - Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force 1st Escort Flotilla - 1998

Featuring the 1998 (Heisei 10) 88 Fleet, when the Shirane-class and Haruna-class were directly controlled vessels.
Yokosuka's Face~Public Relations 1st Escort Group~Features the newly molded DDH-143 Shirane. First Limited Edition includes DDG-168 Tachikaze (Escort Fleet Flagship Specification).
The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's Escort Squadrons are fleets of eight destroyers each, operating under the Self-Defense Fleet and Escort Fleet.
They are stationed at four bases: Yokosuka, Sasebo, Maizuru, and Kure. Around 1998, an Escort Squadron consisted of three groups of two to three destroyers each, plus one directly controlled vessel. The 1st Escort Squadron is based in Yokosuka. It serves as the face of the Escort Fleet, always receiving the newest vessels, and is often seen due to phrases like “the 1st Squadron for public relations” that reflect its character. As the Hatsuyuki-class and Asagiri-class destroyers evolved, the latest Murasame-class ships—Murasame (101), Harusame (102)—were deployed to the 1st Escort Group in 1996 and 1997, marking a transition to a new era.
A series for easily collecting and enjoying the “Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force vessels” that protect Japan's territory and territorial waters, surrounded by sea on all sides.
The molded color replicates the gray of JMSDF vessels, and the design minimizes parts count for easy assembly.
The vessels feature a snap-fit design requiring no glue and can be displayed on the included sea surface panel.
Each set reflects the fleet composition updated annually, with ship numbers and markings precisely reproduced using included decals.

• Includes five classes: 1 Shirane-class, 1 Kongō-class, 1 Hatakaze-class, 2 Murasame-class, and 3 Asagiri-class vessels. • Includes two blue-colored sea surface plates for display. • Features newly developed color tones specifically for JMSDF vessels, including a shade modeled after the “Dark Gray N4” used on open decks. □Limited to the first production lot: Includes parts to recreate DDG-168 Tachikaze after its conversion to escort fleet flagship
