IJN Yukikaze - "Yukikaze Movie Version" 1/350

Tamiya 1/350 pienoismalli, rakennussarja. 

This summer marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the war, and the film "YUKIKAZE" will be released. It is based on the destroyer Yukikaze, the only one of the 38 Type A destroyers that served as the Imperial Japanese Navy's main battleships to survive the war and be known as the "Miracle Destroyer." Set against the backdrop of a turbulent era spanning the Pacific War, postwar, and into the present, this epic film depicts the lives and fates of those who struggled to survive. Based on historical facts, the story of Yukikaze is told from a new perspective. A limited-edition kit will be released in special packaging to coincide with the film's nationwide release on Friday, August 15th.
