Hobby Boss 87001 JMSDF Oyashio Class 1:700 Model Overview

The Oyashio Class represented an evolution in Japanese submarine design after 1998, with features like bow-mounted torpedo tubes and conformal sonar arrays. Nine vessels of about 268 feet were brought into service, and additional units were planned into the late 2000s. Hobby Boss captures the defining external details of the class for accurate display builds.

Scale Modelling Notes and Customisation

The 1:700 Hobby Boss kit offers crisp part definition and scope for customisation with torpedo and missile fitting options. Careful dry fitting and preparation will reward the builder with a neat, display-ready result alongside contemporary naval models.

This kit is geared toward intermediate to experienced modellers due to small parts and the need for precise assembly. Novices should allow extra time and may want simpler starter kits first.
Decal contents depend on the kit revision. Consult the instruction sheet for included markings; aftermarket decals are widely available for specific units and liveries if needed.
Light sanding and a plastic primer will help paint adhesion and reveal any seam lines. Apply thin, even coats and consider subtle weathering to bring out panel detail.
