These paints are impervious to oil and fuels, so they can be safely used on glow engine R/C car bodies.

Special Edition Static Model Product

1/350 Japanese Navy Submarine I-400 (Special Edition)

Item No: 25426

A Singular Concept
The I-400 was constructed as a submergible aircraft carrier the like the world had never seen and was able to launch three Seiran aircraft. With an overall length of 122m, width of 12m, and a 6,560 ton displacement, the size was comparable to a destroyer class warship and it 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 believed possible for the I-400 to make surprise attacks both on 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 the U.S. Naval base at Ulithi, however neither submarine saw action due to the end of the war. It is said that due to its superior design, the I-400 is a forerunner of modern day strategic nuclear missile submarines.

About the Model
★This is a 1/350 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 348.5mm. ★The kit accurately recreates the mammoth form of the I-400. ★Clear parts around the cylindrical hangar let you show off the three Seiran aircraft that can be placed inside. ★Photo-etched parts really up the detail on crane arm, antenna pole, Seiran propellers and handrails. ★Guideline stickers are included to help with attachment of the handrail parts. ★Four metal torpedoes are included, as are clear parts for the Seiran canopy. ★The kit comes with 48 figures and a display base.
