Information
Features

The I-400 was constructed as a submersible aircraft carrier the like the world had never seen and was able to launch three Seiran aircraft. With an overall length of 122m, width of 12m, and a submerged 6560-ton placement, the size was comparable to a destroyer class warship and was the world's largest submarine at the time. In addition, it had the ability to circumnavigate the world one and a half times without needing to refuel or restock.

It was possible for the I-400 to make surprise attacks at both the U.S. East Coast and the Allied held Panama Canal. Construction of the I-400 was completed near the end of WWII in December 1944. It was on its way with the second submarine in its class the I-401 to take on the U.S. Naval base at Ulithi, however like the I-400, however both submarines never had the opportunity to see action due to the ending of the war. It is said that due to its superior design, the I-400 is the predecessor to modern day strategic nuclear missile submarines.

- Length: 348.5mm. Parts such as the large hangar tube of this huge submarine have all been accurately reproduced in detail.
- Transparent parts are included in the set allowing you to easily see the three-hangar stored Seiran aircraft.
- For added realism, photo-etched parts are included to depict the crane arm, aft antenna support, Seiran propellers as well as handrails. A guide sticker sheet for handrail installation is also included.
- The kit also comes with four metal torpedoes. Transparent parts for the Seiran canopy add greater realism to the model.
- Forty-eight 1/350 scale figures are included to spice up the model.
