1/350 IJN I-400 (Tamiya)
This model of IJN I-400 was constructed by me in precise 1/350 scale,
a very popular scale for submarines. The I-400 was a submarine aircraft
carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy during the WWII. She was one out
of three Sen Toku I-400 class submarines (I-400, I-401, I-402). They were
able to carry three torpedo bomber floatplanes type Aichi M6A (Seiran).
Sen Toku I-400 class submarines were the largest submarines of WWII and
remained the largest ever built in the world until the ‘60s.
