Description

The Ushio was the 20th destroyer (the tenth special type II) developed as an epoch-making destroyer by the Japanese Navy. Since her completion in 1931, she was dispatched to the First Shanghai Incident and the Second Shanghai Incident. She survived without being sunk while participating in many famous operations. This model kit from Fine Molds depicts her after the addition of machine guns in September 1944, just before the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
