Tamiya 1/700 Waterline Series model of the IJN Shimakaze destroyer. The fastest destroyer of WWII at 40.9 knots, Shimakaze was an experimental super-destroyer armed with fifteen 610mm Long Lance torpedoes in three quintuple mounts—the heaviest torpedo armament of any destroyer. Her experimental high-pressure boilers were too complex for mass production, so she remained a one-of-a-kind design. Sunk by American aircraft at Ormoc Bay in November 1944.
