Scale I-401 Model with Historical Detail

The Aoshima 03845 kit reproduces the I-401 at 1/700 scale, representing a distinctive Imperial Japanese Navy submarine from World War II. It is intended for modellers who appreciate accurate proportions and fine deck fittings.

The I-401 belonged to the innovative I-400 class, renowned for carrying small aircraft and extended patrol range. This newly cast mould emphasises the vessel's waterline profile and intricate surface detail, making the finished model suitable for display or integration into naval scenes.

Which paints and finishes work well on this model?

Model enamel or acrylic paints in appropriate naval shades will bring out the panel lines and fittings; a light wash and subtle weathering will enhance the scale effect without obscuring detail.

What is a reasonable build time for experienced modellers?

An experienced modeller can complete a neat, display-ready build in several evenings, depending on paint drying times and the level of extra weathering or detailing applied.
