[NWC-36] 1/3000 JMSDF Escort Flotilla 3 (1998)

Recreate the 1998 formation of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's 3rd Escort Flotilla with this precision-engineered 1/3000 scale model set. Part of Fujimi's New Warship Collection, this kit captures the specific naval configuration of the era, featuring eight detailed destroyers molded in a specialized grey that accurately reflects the JMSDF's signature hull color.

The collection highlights the unique silhouettes of the late 90s fleet, including the Haruna-class helicopter destroyer with its distinctive rear flight deck and the Aegis-equipped Myoko. Each vessel is designed for ease of assembly using a snap-fit system that requires no adhesive, making it accessible for collectors while maintaining the fine details enthusiasts expect. The kit includes two blue sea-surface display plates with molded wave patterns, allowing you to arrange the ships in various tactical formations or a full fleet line-up.

To enhance the realism, the set comes with a dedicated decal sheet featuring ship numbers, landing signs, and specific markings like the white line on the Shimakaze's gun shield. While the parts are pre-colored, the concave deck molds are designed to facilitate easy smearing or detail painting to make the ships truly stand out.
