Aoshima 1/700 IJN Submarine Tender Taigei No.567 scale model

The Aoshima 1/700 representation of the IJN Japanese Navy Submarine Tender Taigei No.567 provides New Zealand modellers with a compact, well-detailed naval kit. As part of the Water Line range, it is focused on historically accurate lines and deck fittings useful for period fleets.

Historical context and modelling highlights

Taigei functioned as a shore-like support vessel for submarines, carrying spare parts, fuel and repair gear. This kit reproduces the ship's key shapes and deck equipment with crisp molds and organised sprues so builders can achieve a convincing scale result.

Building and Display Value

Ideal for hobbyists who appreciate naval history and enjoy assembling a tidy model, the 1/700 scale balances visible detail with shelf-friendly dimensions. Combine it with other Water Line kits to build realistic harbour scenes.
