Collector Grade 1/700 IJN Submarines by Tamiya 31434

Tamiya's 1/700 kit pairs the IJN I-16 and I-58 for model builders interested in World War II naval vessels. The set provides parts shaped to convey the submarines main profiles and deck details so that finished models read correctly at small scale.

The I-16 is linked with operations at Pearl Harbor, and the I-58 is historically noted for sinking the USS Indianapolis. This kit supports careful assembly and finishing, letting hobbyists produce compact, museum-style models that represent wartime submarine design.

Which historical actions are associated with these submarines?

The I-16 took part in the Pearl Harbor operations and the I-58 later sank the USS Indianapolis; the kit replicates their general appearance rather than battle damage or crew details.

Any tips for keeping tiny parts safe during build?

Work over a tray to catch small pieces, use fine tweezers and a small dab of glue for positioning, and keep decals and clear parts in separate containers until ready to apply.
