1/350 I-400 Japanese Submarine (Tamiya)

The I-400 class was designed with the scope to travel to anywhere in the world and return. A fleet of 18 boats was planned in 1942, and works began on the first in January 1943 at the Kure Arsenal in Hiroshima. Within a year, the plan was reduced to five, of which only three (I-400 in Kure, and I-401 and I-402 in Sasebo) were completed.
