Fujimi 43063 1/350 Yu-1001 DX Submarine Scale Kit  [FJ-43063]

Fujimi 43063 - 1/350 scale IJN Type 3 Yu-1001 DX submergence transport

The Fujimi 43063 kit recreates the Type 3 submergence transport Yu-1001 in 1/350 scale, focusing on the vessel's cargo-carrying profile and wartime purpose. The plastic parts provide the geometry needed to build an authentic small submarine representation.

Operational history and modelling interest

Designed to ferry supplies under the surface, Yu-1001 reflects a wartime solution to contested supply routes. The Fujimi 43063 model captures that story and appeals to modellers who enjoy naval oddities and compact builds.

Tips for assembly and finish

Precision is important when assembling Fujimi 43063; trim parts carefully and use clamps for small joins. Paint with thin coats and consider subtle weathering to suggest service wear on the hull.
