1/350 IJN Yahagi (Hasegawa)

Yahagi was the second of the four vessels completed in the Agano class of light cruisers, and like other vessels of her class, she was intended for use as the flagship of a destroyer flotilla. Yahagi was completed at Sasebo Navy Yard on 29 December 1943.

On 7 April 1945 the Yamato force was attacked by waves of 386 aircraft (180 fighters, 75 bombers, 131 torpedo planes) from Task Force 58. At 12:46, a torpedo hit Yahagi directly in her engine room, killing the entire engineering room crew and bringing her to a complete stop. Dead in the water, Yahagi was hit by at least six more torpedoes and 12 bombs by succeeding waves of air attacks. Japanese destroyer Isokaze attempted to come to Yahagi's aid but was attacked, heavily damaged, and sank sometime later. Yahagi capsized and sank at 14:05 taking 445 crewmen with her. (cit. Wikipedia)

This is my second model dell'Hasegawa, which we can observe the indisputable quality of details. To the basic model have been added all sets of detail products from the same brand. There was no need to make changes.
