Fujimi 43063 - 1/350 IJN Type 3 Yu-1001 DX submergence transport replica

The Fujimi 43063 portrays the IJN Type 3 submergence transport known as Yu-1001 at 1/350 scale. It highlights the vessel's low-profile hull and cargo role, giving modellers a compact study of a lesser-known WWII Japanese submarine type.

Wartime role and modelling challenge

Yu-1001 and similar submergence transports were used to move supplies covertly to isolated garrisons. The Fujimi 43063 kit reflects that operational purpose and offers a modelling challenge with fine parts and accurate proportions.

Construction tips and presentation

To get the most from Fujimi 43063, dry-fit subassemblies before gluing and plan your paint scheme to bring out panel lines and fittings. The finished kit sits comfortably alongside other 1/350 naval subjects or in a dedicated standalone display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/350
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Required for authentic finish
  • Parts: Detailed components for realistic assembly
The kit has several small components and requires careful trimming and assembly, so it is best tackled by modellers with some experience in 1/350 kits.
Standard enamel or acrylic model paints will work; choose colours matched to WWII Japanese naval finishes and use washes to emphasise details.
The kit is primarily a static model. Modellers often mount it on a simple plinth or include it in a diorama to show its operational context.
