This is one great set of drawings of the Shimzkaze. I cannot find mention of a possible model kit of it on the net. It will be of interest to naval historians though. --AMPS Indianapolis

Another excellent book from the Kagero stable, of interest to the naval historian and model ship-wright alike. Recommended. * Scale Military Modelling International Magazine 04/02/2019 * So an interesting set of plans for anyone interested in the ships of the IJN in WW2, and a fine reference for modellers in particular from Kagero. * Military Model Scene 26/02/2019 *
