With an overall length of 122m, width of 12m, and a submerged 6560 ton placement, the size was comparable to a destroyer class warship and was the world's largest submarine at the time. In addition, it had the ability to circumnavigate the world one and a half times without needing to refuel or restock. It was possible for the I-400 to make surprise attacks at both the U.S. East Coast and the Allied held Panama Canal. Construction of the I-400 was completed near the end of the WWII in December 1944. It was on its way with the second submarine in its class the I-401 to take on the U.S. Naval base at Ulithi, however like the I-400, however both submarines never had the opportunity to see action due to the ending of the war. It is said that due to its superior design, the I-400 is the predecessor to modern day strategic nuclear missile submarines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/350 plastic assembly model kit of the Japanese Navy Submarine I-400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 348.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParts such as the large hangar tube of this huge submarine have all been accurately reproduced in great detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransparent parts are included in the set allowing you to easily see the three hangar stored Seiran aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor added realism, photo-etched parts are included to depict the crane arm, aft antenna support, Seiran propellers as well as hand rails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA guide sticker sheet for hand rail installation is also included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe kit also comes with four metal torpedoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransparent parts for the Seiran canopy add greater realism to the model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForty-eight 1\/350 scale figures are included to spice up the model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45158457671893,"sku":"TAM25426","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/tamiya-25426-1-350-japanese-navy-sub-400-1-kit.jpg?v=1700698330","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/tamiya-25426-1-350-japanese-navy-sub-400-1-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
