Hmm...from what I can find online both here on this site and other searches, there doesn't seem to be a 1/350 kit of any Shiratsuyu class destroyer, specifically the Shigure.
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
The only 1/350 Kits for Japanese destroyers are the
Kagero Class ( Kagero , Isokaze , Nowaki , and Yukikaze ) by the following 2 Manufacturers
Tamiya Ship Series No.20 JAPANESE NAVY DESTROYER YUKIKAZE (1945 Version )
Tamiya Ship Series No.32 Japanese Navy Destroyer ' Kagero ' ( 1941 version )
Hasegawa 1/350 Japanese Destroyer Yukikaze 1940 Version ( Hasegawa -Nr. 40063 )
Hasegawa 1/350 Yukikaze - Operation Ten-Go 1945 Version ( Hasegawa - Nr. 40022 )
Hasegawa 1/350 Isokaze - Superdetail Hasegawa - Nr. 40069 - 1 ( produced 2008 )
Hasegawa 1/350 Nowaki - "Super Detail" Limited Edition ( Hasegawa - Nr. 40094 ) - new kit produced 2017
This limited edition kit features detail-up photo-etched parts plus three sets of decals for Nowaki, Hamakaze, and Tanikaze
Fujimi - 1/350 Destroyer Yukikaze Number 46012 (Also listed as 350-003 or FUJ46012 )
and
Yugumo Class
Pit Road 1/350 IJN Yugumo ( reference WB-09 ) - interestingly it has a display stand with ' dry-dock '
which is exactly like the type Trumpeter provides
IJN Akizuki ( AA Escort ) Class This was first made by made in Resin by Blue Water Navy and then later in 2008 onwards by Monochrome Models - then by
Wave Models in 2016/2017 respectively .

and the
Fubuki Class ( by Fine Molds )
Amagiri with US Navy PT-boat PT-109 by FineMolds - Nr. FW02 - 1:350
Ayanami - FineMolds - Nr. FW1 - 1:350
Shikinami Limited Edition - FineMolds - Nr. 38901 - 1:350 -
( note there is at the present no super-detail photo-etch set for any of these Fine Molds Kit )
and finally the
Shimakaze ( Super Destroyer with 3 x quintuple TT's - only one ever built - also Tier 10 in World of warships ! )
Hasegawa Japanese Navy Destroyer Shimakaze “Late War” Version ( Ship Series No. Z29, SKU# 40029 )
Shimakaze - Fujimi - Nr. 460017 - 1:350 Kit released 2015
I have edited this list of IJN Destroyers from Scalemates and the internet - any omissions are my fault -
but its pretty comprehensive - there are a few
re-boxings of the Fine Molds Fubuki Class - that I have not listed
but they cover the same ships listed above - so as far as I know - its comprehensive ( as of September 2017 )
kind regards
