Description
Book SynopsisSuzutsuki was the third ship from the series of the most powerful
Akizuka destroyers, designed specifically as anti-aircraft defense
ships, whose main armament consisted of 8 universal 100 mm caliber guns with excellent ballistic characteristics. The
Akizuki destroyers were designed before the beginning of World War II as anti-aircraft ships for fast Japanese groups of aircraft carriers. They were completely different from the previous Japanese destroyers, in which the emphasis was put on strong artillery (127 mm guns) and torpedo armament. They were inspired by the British
Dido class light anti-aircraft cruisers, however, in contrast with them, the
Akizuki destroyers were medium size ships intended for anti-aircraft defense of groups of fleet.
Trade Review...full of worthwhile source material for those looking to detail and enhance their model. * Model Shipwrights 21/12/2022 *
This book is intensely focused on modeler’s needs for building this ship in any scale. As usual, the B&W drawings in the book and the foldout in 1/200 or larger scale are clean, simple, detailed and accurate. * IPMS USA 14/12/2022 *
If you need reference for this vessel or indeed wish to scratch the vessel this is the book to seek out for the task. * Armorama 04/03/2019 *
Once again, Kagero have supplied a vast amount of information, not usually available visually in photographs by using the CGI format. * Scale Military Modelling International Magazine 11/03/2019 *
These are a pair of superb reference books which I highly recommend. * Editor - Model Boat World 29/04/2019 *
