Aoshima 05826 I-156 1/700 Waterline Submarine Kit  [AO-05826]

Aoshima 1/700 Scale I.J.N. Submarine I-156 Waterline Model

The Aoshima 1/700 I.J.N. Submarine I-156 model reproduces the streamlined hull and deck arrangement of a World War II Japanese submarine. Its waterline configuration makes it an elegant choice for shelf display or grouping with other 1/700 vessels.

Context and Collector Appeal

The I-156 had a defined role in wartime operations, and this kit lets modellers replicate that subject with attention to proportion and small surface detail. It is aimed at hobbyists who value scale fidelity and neat presentation.

Skill Level and Tips

Small parts and close tolerances reward experienced builders who use fine tools and patient finishing. Decals and paint are applied after assembly and seam cleanup to preserve crisp lines on the completed model.
