About product

AFV Club Japanese submarine I-58 in 1:350 scale

This injection-molded plastic kit from AFV Club represents the Japanese ocean-going submarine I-58 of the Second World War in 1:350 scale. The model can be built as a full-hull variant or as a waterline model, and photo-etched metal for the fine details is included in the package.

The real subject

The I-58 was one of the large Japanese ocean-going submarines with a long range, designed for operations in the vast Pacific. Toward the end of the war she was modified to carry Kaiten manned torpedoes on deck, one of the expressions of the desperate Japanese tactics of that time. She went down in history for sinking the American heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis at the end of July 1945, one of the most tragic losses of the US Navy in the war in the Pacific.

Building and painting tips

Decide between the full-hull and the waterline variant in advance. Glue the parts with liquid cement for plastic and the fine photo-etched items with cyanoacrylate. The hull is best sprayed with an airbrush, and smooth transitions of shade are managed with a fine spray. Complete a full-hull model with a suitable stand; the waterline variant can be set into a diorama with a water surface.

Who the model is for

  • fans of the Imperial Japanese Navy
  • collectors of submarines and ships in 1:350 scale
  • modelers interested in the war in the Pacific
  • moderately experienced builders

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
