1/700 Maritime Self-Defense Force Escort Ship DD-119 Asahi With Female Sdf Figure
Description
This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.
The DD-119 Asahi is a state-of-the-art escort ship launched in October 2016; she was commissioned in March 2018. Her hull is based on that of the Akizuki type, but with significant renovations to the upper structure. Although she is a general-purpose escort ship with well-balanced performance in anti-aircraft, anti-ship and anti-submarine capabilities, this ship's main mission is anti-submarine defense. This kit can be built as a full-hull or waterline version; an SH-60K patrol helicopter is also included.
In addition, you'll receive a fully painted and assembled 10cm-tall PVC figure of Asahi Kashima, 1st Class Lieutenant wearing her 3rd Class summer uniform! Order yours today!
- [Size]: Approximately 21.8cm long when completed

Assembly Guide
Skill Level 3:
Basic Skills Required
Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. This includes cutting parts from runners and trimming or sanding them prior to use, assembling them with cement, and the use of paint to complete them.
To properly complete a level 3 kit, you should have at least a basic set of modeling supplies, including plastic nippers, a hobby knife, files and/or sandpaper, plastic cement, instant (cyanoacrylate) cement (for resin, soft-vinyl or metal parts), painting supplies including brushes, paint, thinner and masking tape, tweezers and possibly decal softener for applying decals to difficult areas.
Kits in this class are not suitable for small children unless there is complete parental supervision. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit may want to read one of the many excellent modeling guides available at most hobby shops before trying to build one of these kits.
Skill level 3 kits include a very large portion of our catalog. Most traditional plastic model kits fall into this category.
Cement Required
This item requries the use of cement (glue) to complete. For injection-plastic kits, use the weld-type clear cement specifically designed for use on styrene plastic. For some smaller parts, you may wish to use instant type (cyanoacrylate) glue. For resin, white metal, soft vinyl and photo-etched materials, the use of instant type cement is strongly recommended.
A SAFETY NOTE ABOUT INSTANT CEMENT
Parents and all modelers should note that instant cement (cyanoacrylate) bonds skin instantly. While this in itself is not harmful, forcibly attempting to pull the skin apart can tear the skin and cause injury. If you or your child happens to inadvertenly glue themselves with instant cement, don't pull, but use remover for instant cement, or nail polish remover to dissolve the bond instead.
Painting Required
This model kit or accessory must be painted in order to achieve a realistic appearance.
While there are slight differences depending on the country you live in, there are generally three types of paint available for modeling: Acrylic, Enamel and Lacquer. Their characteristics are described below.
