First Catalog Appearance:
Comments: This is the first incarnation of the DT-420. Hoshino-Gakki issued a German-only release of the Destroyer in 1992/1993 and designated it the DT-420. In 2002/2003, Hoshino-Gakki released a new Destroyer to the US market and, unfortunately, designated it the DT-420 as well. The two versions of the DT-420 are very different from one another and are not related in any way as far as we know.
