This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.
From the manufacturer:
The Hayasui was completed as one of the Kazahaya class fleet oilers. After lack of reconnaissance planes was identified as a contributing factor to the defeat of the IJN at the Battle of Midway, aviation facilities were added to the Hayasui to improve carrier task force endurance following experience at the Battle of the Santa Cruz islands.
In August 1944 the Hayasui departed from Imari Bay for Singapore in convoy HI-71. On the 19th of the same month, 80 miles northwest of Cape Bolinaro, Luzon, Redfish, Bluefish, and Spacefish attacked the Hayasui and she was hit by torpedoes.
This water line model is molded in grey plastic with clear parts, photo-etched parts, and decals.
