Hasegawa 54001 - 1/72 Shinkai 6500 Offshore Research Model Kit  [HA-54001]

Hasegawa 54001 - 1/72 Shinkai 6500 Manned Submersible Scale Model

The Hasegawa 54001 brings the Shinkai 6500 into 1/72 scale for modellers interested in oceanographic subjects. The Shinkai 6500, operated by JAMSTEC, is capable of diving to about 6,500 meters and has been used on many deep-sea missions. This plastic kit provides detailed components so builders can construct a faithful miniature of this research vehicle.

Authentic parts and careful moulding

Parts are produced to capture the submersible's core features such as the pressure sphere and external manipulators. The kit is aimed at those who value precision and accurate lines in scale modelling.

Display potential for marine model collections

This Shinkai 6500 makes a distinctive exhibit in any collection of scientific or maritime models. Its neat scale fits well with other research vessels and small dioramas focusing on deep-sea exploration.
