The Imperial Japanese Navy … in 1/1200th-scale: The collection continues to grow … as does the rest of my model ship collection

My collection of Imperial Japanese Navy warships continues to grow. The latest additions are:

IJNS Uranami, IJNS Asagari, IJNS Shirayuki, and IJNS Hatsuyuki (all Fubuki-class destroyer), as well as a Natsushimo-class destroyer (although I’m not sure that the listing is correct as it looks like it is yet another Fubuki-class destroyer to me!), …

(2,090 tons; 38 knots; 6 x 5-inch guns; 18 depth charges; 9 x 24-inch torpedo tubes)

…a Kaba-class destroyer, …

(850 tons; 30 knots; 1 x 4.7-inch gun; 3 x 3-inch guns; 4 x 18-inch torpedo tubes)

… and a Chikuma-class light cruiser.

(5,000 tons; 26 knots; 8 x 6-inch guns; 4 x 3-inch guns; 3 x 18-inch torpedo tubes)

The latter pair of ships were out of service by December 1941. The Kaba-class destroyers served during World War I but were scrapped in the early 1930s. The three Chikuma-class light cruisers were either scrapped before World War II or were retained in secondary roles and didn’t see active service.

I was also able to add a model of the pre-dreadnought USS Idaho which was sold to Greece before World War I and became the Kilkis. She had become a static training ship by 1939 and was sunk by Luftwaffe aircraft in the Salamis Naval Base on 23rd April 1941 during the German invasion of Greece.

(14.465 tons; 17 knots; 4 x 12-inch guns; 8 x 8-inch guns; 8 x 7-inch guns; 12 x 3-inch guns; 6 x 3-pounder QF guns; 2 x 1-pounder QF-guns; 2 x 21-inch torpedo tubes)
