Aoshima 06730 1/700 I-401 - compact naval modeller project

The Aoshima 06730 represents the Japanese Navy Submarine I-401 in 1/700 scale, offering modellers finely cast components that reflect the vessel's hangar and hull form. As a member of the I-400 class, the I-401 carried aircraft and offers a distinctive modelling subject for those who enjoy naval history and small scale technique.

Why the I-401 catches the eye of modellers

The aircraft-carrying capability gives the I-401 distinctive features to recreate, from the cylindrical hangar to the catapult area. The kit's moulded parts aim to capture these shapes so builders can focus on accurate assembly and finishing.

Assembly expectations and presentation

Assembly calls for attention to seam lines and careful gluing of small pieces. When complete, the model makes an attractive addition to a shelf or diorama, showcasing a rare type of World War II submarine design.
