Preowned, Resealed, Mint inside, Box worn

The Hatsuyuki was the third ship of the Fubuki class, Japan's revolutionary "Special Type" destroyers that set a new world standard for destroyer armament when introduced in the late 1920s. The class was initially troubled by hull-strength problems, demonstrated when Hatsuyuki's bow was damaged by heavy seas in a 1935 typhoon, prompting fleet-wide strengthening. She saw action off Malaya and at the Battle of Sunda Strait before being lost in 1943, and the kit depicts her with the increased anti-aircraft armament of her later service.
