Description
Fujimi Models - Collectible Warship Series - No. 35 - Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force 2nd Escort Flotilla - 1998

Featuring the 1998 (Heisei 10) fleet of 88 vessels, when the general-purpose destroyers comprised the Hatsuyuki-class and Asagiri-class.
Newly molded Hatsuyuki-class “Tachikaze-class” and “Shirane-class” feature new molds. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's Escort Group is a fleet of eight escort vessels operating under the Self-Defense Fleet or Escort Fleet. They are stationed at four locations: Yokosuka, Sasebo, Maizuru, and Kure. Each Escort Group consists of two Escort Squadrons, each with four vessels. The 2nd Escort Group is stationed in Kure and Sasebo. Its history dates back to its formation in 1954 (Showa 29), continuing to the present day. Prior to 2008, particularly the period from the late 1990s onward (the setting for this product), marked the transition to new gas turbine-powered vessels for both DD and DDG classes. This distinctive era featured a diverse fleet composition, including the “173 Kongō,” “170 Sawakaze,” “DD Hatsuyuki-class,” and “DD Asagiri-class.” The 2nd Escort Group comprised ships directly under the group's command and three escort squadrons, with all vessels using Sasebo as their home port. A series that lets you easily collect and assemble “Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force vessels” protecting Japan's land 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.
Ships feature a snap-fit design requiring no glue and can be displayed on the included sea surface panel.
Set contents match the annually changing fleet organization, with ship numbers and markings precisely reproduced using included decals.
□This product features 8 ships belonging to the 2nd Escort Group based on the 1998 fleet organization:
Includes five classes: one Shirane-class, one Kongo-class, one Tachikaze-class, three Asagiri-class, and two Hatsuyuki-class vessels. □ Two sea surface plates (molded in blue-green) are included as display bases.
・The white lines on the upper deck walkways are recessed to allow for easy reproduction with white paint.
・A new color tone was developed specifically for JMSDF vessels, modeled after the “dark gray N4” used on open decks.
□Included decals feature markings for above the waterline, such as hull numbers and old-style landing markers.
・The DDG-173 Kongo includes special markings for the forward combat passageway and helicopter deck surround from 1998.
