Description
Dive into the unique history of World War II naval warfare with the Fujimi [TOKU-14] 1/350 Japanese Army Submarine YU-1 model kit. This meticulously crafted replica brings to life the lead vessel of the Yu 1 subclass, a crucial component of the Imperial Japanese Army's transport submarine fleet. Known officially as the Type 3 submergence transport vehicle or "Maru Yu," these submarines were vital for supplying isolated island garrisons across the Pacific.
The YU-1, constructed by Hitachi Kasado Works and entering service in late 1943, played a role in the Philippines campaign of 1944–1945, undertaking supply runs during the Battle of Leyte. This 1/350 scale kit from Fujimi, a renowned Japanese manufacturer, offers modelers the opportunity to build a historically significant vessel with accurate molding and precise parts.
