Aoshima 06666 - 1/700 Scale IJN Taigei Submarine Tender Kit  [AO-06666]

Aoshima 1/700 IJN Submarine Tender Taigei No.567 model kit

The Aoshima 1/700 scale model of the IJN Japanese Navy Submarine Tender Taigei No.567 presents UK modellers with a compact, accurate Water Line series subject. The kit captures the essential profile and deck fittings typical of a World War II submarine tender.

Model history and kit characteristics

Taigei served as a support and repair ship for submarine units, handling supplies and light maintenance. This kit reflects that service role through carefully molded components and well-organised parts that allow builders to recreate the vessel with fidelity.

Building and Display Value

Designed for hobbyists who value naval accuracy, the 1/700 scale supports a detailed finish without occupying excessive display space. It works well in solo display or as part of a larger period fleet.
