Tamiya Japanese Navy Submarine I-400

Art. No.: 300078019
Product Name: 1:350 Japanese Submarine i-400

The model is a replica of the Japanese submarine i-400. The three large aircraft carrier submarines of the I-400 class were developed as part of a plan to attack major cities in the USA and the Panama Canal, and they were technologically advanced. They had an extremely long range and were heavily armed with both torpedoes and deck guns. On their way to attack the Panama Canal, the submarines were ordered to instead target the allied naval base at Ulithi. However, hostilities ceased before an attack could be launched.
