Discover modern naval power with the 1:700 Hasegawa 49013 JMSDF DE 229 Abukuma / DE 230 Jintsu from the Abukuma class. This detailed plastic model kit recreates a modern Japanese frigate of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and is an excellent choice for enthusiasts of modern warships, naval model building and contemporary naval vessels.

The Abukuma is a modern Japanese escort destroyer often classified as a frigate or corvette. The ship was laid down in March 1988, launched in December 1988 and entered service in 1989 with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. With a length of approximately 109 meters, a beam of 13 meters and a full displacement of about 2,550 tons, the ship is compact yet powerful. Thanks to its CODOG propulsion system, the vessel can reach speeds of approximately 27 to 28 knots.

The Abukuma class was designed to support and eventually replace the older Yubari-class destroyers. These ships are larger, more powerful and equipped with significantly stronger weapon systems, particularly for anti-submarine warfare operations. They also feature improved electronic systems including modern fire control and information exchange systems, making them an important asset in Japan’s maritime defense.

This Hasegawa model kit is a modern and accurately molded kit with excellent detailing that meets today’s high modeling standards. The set is a two-in-one kit allowing you to build either JMSDF DE 229 Abukuma or DE 230 Jintsu in their completed configuration. The hull is split into two parts and the kit includes decals for both ships including deck markings, ship names and hull numbers.
