Aoshima 06665 Heritage 1/700 I-19 Submarine Kit  [AO-06665]

Aoshima 1/700 scale replica of Japanese Navy submarine I-19

The Aoshima 1/700 I-19 kit presents a faithful small-scale representation of a submarine known for its wartime patrols and the action that sank the USS Wasp. This kit balances scale accuracy with manageable parts, making it a rewarding build for those who focus on historical modelling.

Historical notes and build interest

Serving with the Imperial Japanese Navy, the I-19 carried out long-range missions that left a mark on naval history. The Aoshima kit reproduces the hull form and deck details in 1/700 scale, giving modellers a platform to practise fine painting and assembly techniques.

Display advice and collector appeal

Completed models suit grouped displays or individual podiums and can be combined with other 1/700 vessels for full flotillas. The compact footprint makes it practical for collectors who want multiple ships without a large display area.
