PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

Suzutsuki was the third ship from the series of the most powerful Akizuka destroyers, designed specifically as anti-aircraft defense ships, whose main armament consisted of 8 universal 100 mm caliber guns with excellent ballistic characteristics. The Akizuki destroyers were designed before the beginning of World War II as anti-aircraft ships for fast Japanese groups of aircraft carriers. They were completely different from the previous Japanese destroyers, in which the emphasis was put on strong artillery (127 mm guns) and torpedo armament. They were inspired by the British Dido class light anti-aircraft cruisers, however, in contrast with them, the Akizuki destroyers were medium size ships intended for anti-aircraft defense of groups of fleet. 120 profiles, drawing sheets B2

Critic Reviews

...full of worthwhile source material for those looking to detail and enhance their model. Model Shipwrights 21/12/2022
This book is intensely focused on modeler’s needs for building this ship in any scale. As usual, the B&W drawings in the book and the foldout in 1/200 or larger scale are clean, simple, detailed and accurate. IPMS USA 14/12/2022
If you need reference for this vessel or indeed wish to scratch the vessel this is the book to seek out for the task. Armorama 04/03/2019
Once again, Kagero have supplied a vast amount of information, not usually available visually in photographs by using the CGI format. Scale Military Modelling International Magazine 11/03/2019
These are a pair of superb reference books which I highly recommend. Editor - Model Boat World 29/04/2019
