Her high temperature, high pressure kampon boilers generated 75,000hp and propelled the 3,000-ton Shimakaze at what was a then record speed for a Japanese destroyer of 40.9 knots; she was also an imposing offensive presence, sporting three twin 12.7cm gun turrets and three quintuple torpedo tube mounts. It wasn't long before she saw action, in July 1943 taking part in the evacuation of Japanese troops from Kiska in the Aleutian Islands, and after that she was called further south, where she would eventually meet her end in November 1944, sunk during a transport mission to relieve the embattled garrison of the island of Leyte. The Shimakaze was to end up the only ship of her class, partially due to carriers and their aircraft reducing destroyer effectiveness, and compounded by the lack of production capacity as Japan felt the squeeze of a worsening war situation. Despite her fleeting service life, however, she was still able to prove that she was a worthwhile design, as the fastest and most powerful of the Japanese destroyers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Model\u003cbr\u003e\n★This is a 1\/700 scale plastic model assembly kit of the Japanese Navy Destroyer Shimakaze.

The rationale for Type 1936A destroyers was influenced by two factors, the need to deal with the superior numbers of British destroyers and the potential need to fight the French Navy which possessed several types of oversize and powerfully armed destroyers. The design followed closely behind the Type 1936 and shared many of the same features. But their bows were more flared and in terms of armament they were closer to light cruisers than the typical destroyer. The use of 150 mm guns was atypical of destroyers which tended to have guns around 120 - 127 mm in calibre. The power plants were still as unreliable as in the previous types and the tonnage increases resulted in a slight decrease in performance. In December 1943, Scharnhost and 5 destroyers (Z-29, Z-30,Z-33,Z-34,Z-38) was ordered to seek out and destroy the Convoy JW55B.
