Tamiya 1/700 JMSDF Defense Ship FFM-1 Mogami Plastic Model Kit

The Tamiya JMSDF Defense Ship FFM-1 Mogami is a 1/700 scale plastic assembly model kit of the lead ship of Japan's newest multi-purpose frigate class.

Please note this is an unassembled plastic model kit requiring assembly; paints, cement and hobby tools are not included and are required to complete the model.

This model assembly kit recreates the JMSDF Defense Ship FFM-1 Mogami. Mogami was commissioned on April 28, 2022, ushering in a new era of Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force defense ships as the first of its eponymous Mogami class, which was given a new FFM classification signifying its ships' status as frigates with a multi-purpose brief including mine-related duties, and featured advanced stealth characteristics. The equipment under the rear flight deck can be taken from the stern hatch and used for minesweeping and marine patrol, while a slanted flight deck secures the space to store the equipment. As of March 2023, six ships of this class had been launched, with twelve ships in total planned.
