1/700 ROC Dan Yung DD-12 (Veteran Model)
The IJN Yukikaze was compensated to Republic of China Navy at Shanghai on July 6, 1947 and then renamed DD-12 Dan Yung, and all armament was removed at the time. She was refitted to carry 1 set of US naval dual 5" gun(front turret), 2 sets of IJN type 89 3.9"gun(back turrets) and 8 sets of type 96 25mm AA gun when retreated to Taiwan in 1956. And then she visited the Philippines at the same year.
Due to the low stock of IJN ammo in 1956, R.O.C Navy decided to overhaul her and replaced all of the IJN armament with US naval weapons.3 sets of single 38 cal 5"gun,2 sets of 50 cal 3" gun and 10 sets of single 40 mm Bofos gun were mounted. Before this, Dan Yung moved forwand to the shore of Zhejiang in Mainland China and bombarded the barracks of PLA to run out of IJN ammo.
After the final refitting in 1956,she served in R.O.C navy to patrol the Taiwan strait until 1966.
Jeff built this model to present the status of Dang Yung circa 1956. And all of the AA gun lift up to show her anti air guard.
