Japanese Destroyer Models

These pictures are from my 1:1250 scale model collection. They represent different classes of Japanese destroyers that served during the Second World War. Each model caption has the name of the ship and the original manufacturers model number. I repainted all of them. The decks are painted brown to match the chocolate brown linoleum then used by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The ships are as they appeared just at the start of the war. The number on the bow is the division assignment. The name of the ship is written on the side in Katakana characters. Run your cursor over the image to see the caption,
