Aoshima 1/700 Japanese Navy I-19 scale kit

The Aoshima 1/700 I-19 captures the profile and key features of a submarine with a notable wartime record. The I-19 earned recognition during World War II for long-range patrols and the action that led to the sinking of the USS Wasp. This kit brings that story into a neat, display-ready scale for enthusiasts.

Why this subject appeals to modellers

As part of the Imperial Japanese Navy the I-19 demonstrated extended range and impactful missions. Builders will find the kit presents a satisfying challenge thanks to small, precise parts and clear surface detail. The 1/700 scale allows collectors to build entire fleets without needing a lot of shelf space.

Suitability for display collections

The finished model works well on small plinths or within ship collections where consistency of scale matters. It showcases Aoshima's focus on proportion and surface features, making it a solid pick for those assembling period naval groups or display cases.
