I-401 Miniature for Scale Enthusiasts

The Aoshima 03845 model kit recreates the I-401 at 1/700 scale, reflecting a remarkable Imperial Japanese Navy submarine from the Second World War. The release appeals to hobbyists who prioritise scale fidelity and cleanly cast components.

Part of the I-400 series, the I-401 had unique capabilities including aircraft carriage and long endurance. The new mould gives attention to the waterline contour and small deck features, helping the finished build stand out in a collection or on a display base.

What skill level suits the Aoshima 03845 kit?

The kit is best tackled by modellers with some prior experience handling small parts and decals. Beginners can build it too but should expect to do careful trimming and paintwork.

Can I adapt this for a full-hull display?

This release is designed as a waterline model. Converting to a full-hull presentation would require additional parts or scratchbuilding to complete the lower hull section.
