True-to-Scale 1/144 Soryu Class Submarine Kit

The Trumpeter 05911 delivers a compact, true-to-scale model of the Soryu Class attack submarine, highlighting correct profiles and deck detail. This kit is for modellers concentrating on scale accuracy and neat finishing.

Careful Assembly for a Clean Result

Parts are provided to recreate the vessel's contours and fittings at small scale. Accurate assembly, filling and sanding followed by controlled painting will produce a museum-quality miniature suited to collectors.

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires assembly and painting
  • Paints and decals not included

Is this kit suitable for beginners?

This kit is aimed at intermediate and advanced builders; the small scale and fine parts can be challenging for first-time modellers.

What finishing techniques work well on this model?

Use thin layers of paint, pre-shade panel lines if desired, and finish with matt or satin varnish. Pin washes and gentle weathering can enhance surface detail.

Can I motorise or radio control this kit?

The kit is a static scale model and not supplied with RC components. Converting to a working RC submarine would require significant modification and hobby electronics expertise.

Where can I source accurate paint colours?

Model paint manufacturers publish naval colour charts and references. Cross-check photos and references to match the correct grey tones for the Soryu Class.

How do I preserve delicate parts during storage?

Store finished models in a dust-free cabinet and use soft supports for protruding parts. Consider removable masts or railings if you need to transport the model.
