1/700 Fine Molds Ship Accessories

Precision Photo-Etched Detail for IJN Warships

Fine Molds has earned international recognition for producing meticulously engineered aftermarket accessories that address the specific needs of serious ship modelers focusing on Imperial Japanese Navy subjects. This 1/700 scale collection features precision photo-etched brass components and comprehensive upgrade kits designed to transform standard IJN destroyer models into museum-quality replicas with historically accurate details and enhanced visual impact. Each product represents extensive research into historical documentation, technical drawings, wartime photographs, and surviving vessel examinations to ensure absolute accuracy in capturing the distinctive characteristics of World War II Japanese naval vessels.

The photo-etched brass components feature incredibly fine detail that captures railings, ladders, antenna arrays, mast structures, and deck fittings at a scale that injection-molded plastic simply cannot achieve. These ultra-thin brass elements provide proper scale thickness, authentic stanchion spacing, and realistic light-catching properties that convey the correct sense of scale and add visual depth to your warship models. The precision etching process enables details impossible with traditional molding techniques, including individual ladder rungs, delicate antenna wires, perforated deck gratings, and complex superstructure frameworks.

IJN Destroyer Yukikaze Detail Enhancement

This collection currently features the Extra Detail-Up Parts Set for IJN Destroyer Yukikaze, one of the most famous and historically significant destroyers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Yukikaze earned legendary status as the luckiest ship in the IJN, surviving the entire Pacific War without major damage despite participating in virtually every major naval engagement from Pearl Harbor to the final battles around Japan. This comprehensive detail set provides modelers with precision components that capture the destroyer's distinctive features across different operational periods, allowing for accurate representations of this celebrated Kagero-class destroyer.

The Yukikaze detail-up set includes precision-etched railings with authentic stanchion spacing and proper scale thickness, ladder assemblies featuring individual rungs at correct intervals, mast and antenna structures capturing the complex communication and radar equipment configurations, deck fittings including bollards, cleats, and equipment mounting brackets, anti-aircraft gun platforms with protective shields and ammunition handling details, and superstructure enhancements that define the Kagero-class destroyer's distinctive profile. These components replace oversized plastic parts with scale-accurate brass elements that dramatically improve the overall appearance and historical authenticity of your model.
