Pit-Road Models sends us news of three very interesting Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force releases.
1/700 JMSDF DDG-177 Atago
The Atago class of guided missile destroyers is an improved version of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF)'s Kongō class destroyers. It is a Japanese variant of the United States Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyer (Flight IIA). In comparison to the Kongō-class/Arleigh Burke-class (Flight I) which only had helicopter platforms (but no support equipment), these ships have better helicopter handling facilities.
Retail Price ~ $25.93
1/700 JMSDF LST-4001 Osumi
The Osumi class LST, is a Japanese amphibious assault ship. While the JMSDF describes the Osumi class as tank landing ships, they lack the bow doors and beaching capability traditionally associated with LSTs. Functionally, their well deck makes the Osumi class are more like a dock landing ship (LSD) or amphibious transport dock (LPD).
Retail Price ~ $38.90
1/700 JMSDF LST-4003 Kunisaki
Retail Price ~ $38.90
