Asagiri Class DDG 1-2400

Asagiri Class DDG 1-2400
 
This 1-2400 scale waterslide deck decal represents the JMSDF Asagiri class, a Cold War-era general-purpose destroyer class built for escort, anti-submarine warfare, and surface operations.
 
Decal Information
The decal reproduces the visible deck and helicopter-deck markings for the Asagiri Class and is printed on a clear background so the modeler's painted deck color remains visible. The deck markings and hull numbers should be cut and positioned carefully to match the miniature.
 
Model Compatibility
Miniatures from other manufacturers may differ in deck dimensions, weapons placement, or superstructure footprint, so test-fit before application.
 
Historical Information
The Asagiri class followed the Hatsuyuki class and introduced improved sensors, aviation facilities, and combat systems for long-range fleet escort. Eight ships were completed between the late 1980s and early 1990s. As newer destroyers entered service, members of the class transitioned through front-line, training, and reserve roles, with older units progressively retired.
