The lead ship of the Kagero class of destroyers included 19 in total. Laid down in September 1937, the Kagero was completed in just over 2 years and was commissioned in November 1939. While the Kagero is recognized as an effective destroyer design, like many of her counterparts she in fact ended up largely doing escort work, sheepherding carriers toward their goal, as she did in the attacks on Pearl Harbor. Later in the war she saw action on the \"Tokyo Express\" runs as destroyers were tasked with supplying and reinforcing beleaguered Japanese garrisons in the Solomons. She met her end at the hand of U.S. mines in 1943.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey design features of the kit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe aft deck features the additional twin 12.7cm gun turret seen on early- WWII Kagero ships (it was replaced by antiaircraft guns later in the war).

New parts depict the bridge without radar room. Clear parts are used for windows. The early- WWII Kagero mast features less radar equipment than that on late-war ships such as the model kit of the Japanese Destroyer Yukikaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"seo-breadcrumb-links\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya\"\u003eTamiya\u003c\/a\u003e » \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-plastic-model-kits\"\u003ePlastic Model Kits\u003c\/a\u003e » \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-ship-model-kits\"\u003eShip\u003c\/a\u003e » \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-1-350-ship-model-kits\"\u003e1\/350 Ship\u003c\/a\u003e » Tamiya 1\/350 Japanese Destroyer Kagero - 78032\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild Better Models with Tamiya\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is part of the Tamiya lineup known for precision engineering, strong fit, and hobby-friendly design.
