{"product_id":"japanese-navy-submarine-i-400","title":"Tamiya 1\/350 Japanese Navy Submarine I-400 – Aircraft Carrier Submarine Model Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003e\nThe I-400–class submarines were among the most extraordinary naval vessels ever built. Conceived for long-range strikes against distant targets—including planned attacks on U.S. cities and the Panama Canal—they were the largest submarines of WWII and remained unmatched in size until the advent of nuclear-powered boats. With impressive range, heavy armament, and the unprecedented ability to carry and launch three Aichi M6A Seiran floatplane bombers, the I-400 represented a bold leap in naval engineering and strategic thinking.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis 1\/350 scale model kit faithfully reproduces the imposing shape and complex features of the I-400. The hull is molded in upper and lower sections for clean assembly, and the aircraft hangar can be displayed open or closed to reveal internal detail. Fine components such as the crane arm, antenna array, and aircraft dollies are elevated further with precision photo-etched parts. Metal propeller shafts add a realistic touch, and the included Seiran aircraft may be built with wings extended or folded for storage.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nA dedicated display base helps showcase the unique design of this underwater aircraft carrier. For builders who enjoy historically significant naval subjects and the satisfaction of assembling intricate details at a steady pace, the I-400 offers a rewarding and memorable project.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50347238588663,"sku":"MH_TAM78019_HH","price":92.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/3324\/8759\/files\/860e365ffa87de6d32c11e119e96106a.jpg?v=1765416934","url":"https:\/\/checkout.miniaturehobbies.com\/products\/japanese-navy-submarine-i-400","provider":"Miniature Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
