Victory at Sea - Kagero-class Destroyers
Essentially an enlarged Fubuki-class, the KagerÅ-class hull design was scaled up to overcome earlier design deficiencies. As a result, the KagerÅ-class was the equal of any of its contemporaries in other navies and superior to most. Only the initial lack of radar and continued poor quality of sonar equipment and anti-aircraft defences (shortcomings which bedevilled all Japanese destroyers) hindered their performance.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted
