Fine Molds IJN A-Target Type A Midget Submarine 1/72 Model Kit

Fine Molds has done it again: an excellent full injection-plastic kit of an incredibly minor piece of WWII hardware! This is the so-called “midget sub” that took part in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Officially called the “Ko-Hyoteki Ko-gata,” which translates into English as the “A-Target Type A,” this two-man sub carried two torpedoes. They had the distinction of being the targets of the first shots fired between the U.S. and Japan in WWII, the first ships sunk, and the crew member of one became the first Japanese prisoner-of-war taken by the Americans.

The kit was designed after extensive research of the existing subs, and is very well done, including surface weld marks and other details.

• 1/72 Scale
• Skill Lv.3
• Measures just over 30cm long when completed.
• Includes a display stand and markings for three versions of the sub.
• Model Kit requires glue and paints for assembly (not included).

Note: This Item Ships Directly from Japan.
