Aoshima 06665 1/700 Scale I-19 Naval Submarine Kit  [AO-06665]

Aoshima 1/700 scale model of the Japanese Navy submarine I-19

The Aoshima 1/700 representation of the Japanese Navy Submarine I-19 renders a compact but historically significant vessel. The I-19 is known for its wartime patrols and the attack that sank the USS Wasp, and this kit makes it accessible to naval modellers concentrating on accurate small-scale work.

Context and modelling appeal

The I-19 operated within the Imperial Japanese Navy and was notable for operational range and mission success. The Aoshima kit captures essential features at 1/700 scale, offering a precise build that appeals to modellers who enjoy rigging, weathering and careful finishing.

Collector and display considerations

The finished model is compact enough for tight displays and detailed enough to reward close inspection. It pairs well with other 1/700 subjects for period dioramas or shelved fleets where uniform scale improves presentation.
