Product description ■ "DD-181 Asakaze" is an escort ship leased from the United States under the Japan-U. S. Naval Warship Lease Agreement immediately after the establishment of the Maritime Self-Defense Force. It was originally the "DD-454 Ellison" of the late Livermore class destroyer type.
When it was leased to the Maritime Self-Defense Force, it was equipped with four 127 mm artillery pieces, but immediately removed the No. 2 turret.
It was also renovated by expanding the combat command post and replacing radar. The "Asakaze" was the first 127 mm 砲装 aircraft of the Maritime Self-Defense Force and served as the main force of the initial self-defense force fleet.
The product will be sold as a set of the kit and etching parts that have been sold separately since its release.
