Shimakaze is not a battleship. Shimakaze is/was a destroyer.

Hey dude, I heard you liked Shimakaze, so we put your Shimakaze with your Shimakaze while you otaku out to ships, girls, and shipgirls while you ship girls.

You people really need to learn your warship terminology.

Battleship? Huh? Her displacement was an order of magnitude smaller than the smallest battleships of the day.
Either call her a destroyer - which is what she actually was - or just use the generic label 'warship'. |

The scaled destroyer will make Shimakaze feel like she's a huge owner of a warship.

This is the 2nd Kantai headline in as many days, where they say "Battleship" yet there isn't a battleship to be seen. The Team is "Warship" A destroyer is a warship so is a battleship but they are types of warship. -G BA History |

63 dollars? That's pretty awesome actually for a figure and a kit. I'd rather have a BB instead of a DD but, eh. I'll patiently wait for a Bismarck or Kongou.
77 dollars on Tokyo Otaku Mode with free shipping..not too shabby. Maybe I'l finally take a dip into figures. |

The model brings back fond memories, I put together a number of WWII Ship kits in 60's as well as buying the little pre-built sets with US / British / French / German / Japanese ships. I like the turret and gun articulation, the default molded colors are nice but let me at it with my airbrush and I could make it into something that Shimakaze the Girl would be proud of.

A big-boobed blonde next to a model of a ship that has big guns? How appropriate.

@Kadmos1
Except they are not "big" guns. The Shimakaze had 5 inch guns, rather small as guns go on a warship. Big guns would be the 16 inch guns of the Yamato. What the Shimakaze and other destroyers had were the Long Lance torpedoes. Those were deadly ship killers. |

The torpedoes part is definitely strong with the blonde.

The four Iowas had 16" guns. The Yamato and Musashi had 18.1" guns, the largest ever mounted to a warship. As it turns out they were so huge as to be impractical. |
