The name of the ship literally means \"Island Wind.\" It represented the pinnacle of destroyer development in Japan during World War II, featuring an unprecedented speed (up to 40.9 knots) and a record-setting triple Type 93 \"Long Lance\" torpedo launcher. This destroyer participated in the battles for the Philippines and operated in the southern Pacific region – it was sunk on November 11, 1944, during the Battle of Ormoc Bay. Shimakaze served as a technological model for a planned but never completed series of advanced Japanese destroyers.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eSet Details:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/350 – allows highlighting fine details of the ship's deck, weaponry, and superstructures\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry: Japan (Empire of Japan)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeriod of use: World War II (1943–1944)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality plastic allowing for very precise components\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe model does not include glue or paints – separate modeling accessories are required for completion\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHundreds of precisely manufactured parts, excellently rendered torpedo launchers, main artillery, command bridge, and deck equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: plastic model kit, dedicated to collectors and ship modeling enthusiasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFujimi is known for high-quality molds and excellent parts fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommendation and Difficulty Level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Fujimi 460444 product is recommended for advanced and intermediate modelers who value historical accuracy and want to build one of the most iconic destroyers of the Japanese fleet.
