Bandai 1/48 Shinkai 6500 Model Brief

The Bandai 1/48 Shinkai 6500 kit recreates the profile and mechanical detail of the manned research submersible. The Shinkai 6500 is known for reaching depths near 6,500 meters, and this scale model focuses on the propulsor remodeling to reflect mechanical authenticity.

Modelling Interest and Historical Context

Used extensively in ocean science, the Shinkai 6500 has a respected place in marine exploration. This plastic kit appeals to builders who favour historically informed models and enjoy assembling accurately scaled scientific craft.

Assembly Tips and Display Guidance

Assembly calls for precision and patience, but results in a compact, display-worthy model. Careful painting and correct decal alignment will maximise the finished model's presence on a shelf or in a display case.
