Product Description

--Tachibana type (Kaimatsu type), which is a further rapid mass production of the pine type.

――It is a pine type that has a higher ability to build quickly than a conventional destroyer, but the Navy demands that it be further enhanced.
――The policy is to change the local line structure, which takes time to work, to a linear structure to further improve mass productivity.
――The [Tachibana] type was built as this modified pine type. The ship type section has changed to a structure that uses a straight line to stop flare (the wave protection curve from the draft line to the edge of the deck).
――For this reason, the shape of the plane of the bow is sharp and sharp, which is a big difference from the pine shape.
-The stern has also been changed from a circular shape to a straight shape called a cruiser stun.
――From such work, 14 ships were completed in about 8 months until the end of the war.
――Some of these Matsu-type and Tachibana-type ships were handed over to the Republic of China Navy as compensation ships after engaging in the demobilization project.
--While many of the compensation ships delivered to other countries were scrapped, the three ships, Tsuta, Kaede, and Hatsuume, which were handed over to the Republic of China Navy, were also handed over as compensation ships, along with the Republic of China Navy. It will form the main axis of the combat unit of Taiwan and will devote itself to the battle with the Chinese People's Liberation Army that took place around the Taiwan sea area.

――In this kit, we made an effort to reproduce these features.
――Especially, we put a lot of effort into expressing the unique bonded part of the side steel plate on the bow.
