[433] 1:700 SUBMARINE I-361/I-171

Recreate two distinct classes of Imperial Japanese Navy underwater vessels with this detailed 1:700 scale model kit. This set features the I-361, a Type D transport submarine designed for supply missions, and the I-171, a high-speed Kaidai class cruiser submarine.

The I-361 model captures the specialized hull of a transport vessel used to ferry supplies to remote Pacific islands, which was later modified to carry Kaiten human torpedoes. In contrast, the I-171 represents the fleet submarine design intended for long-range scouting and combat operations. Both models are designed in the waterline format, allowing them to be displayed as they would appear while surfaced at sea.

Fine details across both vessels include conning towers, deck guns, and periscope structures. The kit also includes separately molded Kaiten units to accurately depict the I-361 in its late-war configuration. This dual-pack offers a unique opportunity to compare different submarine engineering philosophies from the same era in a single build.
