Fujimi 1/700 Toku-26 IJN Submarine Okishima Kit Summary

Model builders with an interest in naval history will appreciate the Fujimi 40090 1/700 scale representation of the IJN Submarine Laying Okishima. The parts layout captures the vessel profile and provides a realistic base for weathering and finishing.

Historical Background and Model Accuracy

The Okishima served within a historical fleet context, and this kit reflects its external design cues. Detail levels are intended to mirror the craft's operational appearance without unnecessary complication.

Building Approach and Presentation

The kit is best tackled with patience and a tidy workspace; small components benefit from clamps or tweezers during gluing. Completed models display well on a stand or within a maritime vignette.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Recommended for enhanced realism
Beginners can attempt it, but the kit is more forgiving for those with prior modelling experience due to the scale and small components.
Yes, aftermarket photoetched parts and fine rigging can be added to raise realism, but these require additional skill and tools.
Enamel or acrylic model paints thinned for airbrushing give good results; hand brush touch ups also work for small areas.
A small clear plastic stand or a simple plinth secures the hull and highlights the model without crowding the display.
