Introduction to the Bandai 1/48 Shinkai 6500 Model

The Bandai 1/48 Shinkai 6500 plastic kit captures the design of the manned research submersible in accessible scale form. The real Shinkai 6500 has descended to depths of about 6,500 metres, and this model emphasises the propulsor remodeling variant for detailed representation.

Educational Value and Collector Appeal

The Shinkai 6500 has contributed to many deep sea missions, and this kit offers both a learning build and a solid display item for enthusiasts interested in research vessels. Its focus on mechanical detail makes it relevant to collectors of scientific and technical models.

Tips for Building and Showing the Model

Careful preparation and steady assembly produce a neat finished model that suits display cabinets or themed collections. Paying attention to seam lines and decal placement will ensure the best visual impact.

Specifications

  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Includes decals for accurate detailing
The model is in 1/48 scale and includes fine surface detail focused on the propulsor area, providing a faithful small-scale representation.
Sealing decals with a clear coat is recommended to protect the markings and to unify the finish with the paintwork.
Careful test-fitting, light sanding and using filler where needed will minimise seam lines before painting and finishing.
