Based on the lessons learned in the minesweeping operations of the previous class "HATSUSHIMA" class minesweepers, which revealed that they lagged behind the technical standards of other countries, the "SUGASHIMA" class minesweepers were characterized by the introduction of advanced anti-mine warfare systems from Western countries. \\To cope with magnetic mines, the hull is made of wood and the engines and equipment are designed to be non-magnetic, using aluminum alloys and other non-magnetic materials. \\The ship is also equipped with a fixed-point holding system that automatically controls the bow thruster, controllable pitch propeller, and high-lift rudder to maintain the ship's stability when clearing mines. \\Ўn addition, an auxiliary electric propulsion system has been introduced to improve quietness for low-speed minesweeping missions. \\The first ship, MSC-681 "Sugashima", was commissioned in March 1999, and a total of 12 ships were commissioned until MSC-692 "Kuroshima" in February 2007. \\The MSC-681 "Sugashima" is a 1/350 scale plastic model of the MSC-681 "Kuroshima" and the MSC-692 "Kuroshima" was commissioned in March 1999 until the MSC-692 "Kuroshima" was put into service in February 2007. 1 ship is included in the box. \\Joint development with "Trumpeter "This product is a plastic model that requires assembly and painting. \\Adhesives, tools, paints, etc. are required for assembly and painting. \\Ўn※"Plastic model" is a registered trademark owned by the Japan Plastic Model Industry Cooperative Association. \\ЎThis product does not include adhesives, paints, tools, batteries, or other items. \\ЎSafety WarningsЎnNot applicableЎnBrand Name: PIT-ROADЎnMaterials: PlasticЎnPla-model that requires assembly and painting.
