Snapshot6020,
Thanks very much for your compliments. I am glad my post has helped in building your I-19. Being able to share information with someone else who finds it helpful is one of the best things about this site. Be sure and post photos of your build when you are done. Merry Christmas!

I-19 Japanese Submarine (A to Z) |

I thank you so much for your post and pictures. I bought the I-19 at a model meet in September and after finishing my diorama started the kit the beginning of December. When I opened the box and found the instructions in Japanese my heart sunk. Then I found your post. It was a life and time saver. I've relied on it for my entire build. Still have to paint and assemble the 3 completed sections together but you have made the job so much easier. I appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge and experience.

 Hello from Barcelona (Spain) Congratulations for your best job. You are a master! Looking your pictures I can see the instructions in english. My Nichimo kit only have japanese instructions. Please, can You send me one copy of your english instructions set via email? Here is mine: Azuyuye@Gmail.com. Thanking You in advance, Josep. :thumbs_up_1:

Greetings Fellow Modelers-This is the final entry for this build log, and below the final photos of the finished model. Thanks for the ongoing compliments and encouragement. I hope this information helps anyone who chooses to build this kit (or any WWII Japanese submarine). Enjoy the photos and let me know what you think.

Greetings Fellow Modelers-Below are photos of the finished floatplane. I apologize there are no “in progress” construction photos of it, but the project was beginning to wear me down and I was ready to be finished with it. The only modifications I made were: >Adding .015” diameter wire (in place of the kit parts) for the outerwing float bracing- >Adding .005” diameter wire for the antenna and stabilizer supports- After the canopy was painted I coated it with Krystal Kleer to give it a glass appearance. There is a lot more that could have been done, but like I said I wanted to be done. I hope you enjoy the photos.      Phillip1 Greetings Fellow Modelers-Below are photos of the finished floatplane.

Greetings Fellow Modelers-I was able to finish the model last night! .005” diameter wire was used for mast rigging and the radio wires running from the conning tower to the stern. 5-minute epoxy was mixed with light gray paint to make the small “bulbs” on the radio wires. The only detail left to build is the Glenn floatplane, which I am working on now. I will have to be outside to take some good full view photos, and the weather has not been cooperating. I will post more later. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Greetings Fellow Modelers-Below are the latest progress photos. 1st and 2nd Images: These photos show some of the minor rusting that was added to the hull with pastel dust. The goal was to make the rusting random and really not that noticeable unless you get close to the model. 3rd Image: This photo shows the completed aircraft crane ready to be glued to the deck. The .005” diameter wires and photo-etched hook part really improved the look. 4th: The photo-etched railing is test fitted to the hull to make sure all the holes line up before the part is painted. In an earlier post I stated the locating holes in the hull would be filled with 5-Minute epoxy, but using superglue worked much better.     All of the final detail parts are being glued to the model and it should be finished in the next day or so. Hopefully the next post will contain photos of the completed model.

Greetings Fellow Modelers-Since the painting and weathering of the hull is basically complete my attention turned to painting the conning tower. 1st Image: This photo shows the conning tower after the basic color (anthracite gray) was applied. 2nd Image: This photo shows how the conning tower was masked off before the black camouflage areas were painted. 3rd Image: The conning tower now has the black camouflage, and has been dry-brushed to bring out the details. 4th and 5th Images: These photos show the conning tower after adding the decals and deck section. The white letters/numbers came from a SuperScale gothic decal sheet. The “flags” came from the Revell 1/72 Gato Sub decals sheet, although they were cut down in size. 6th and 7th Image: The conning tower is shown after being glued to the hull. 8th Image: A couple of small photo-etch pieces from my spares box were added to the large deck gun to represent the elevation handwheels.         The model is really starting to look like the I-19, with the hull and conning tower assembled. Now that’s what I’m talking about!

Looking really good, nice job on the hull plating. It is nice seeing old kits like these brought up to current standards with some hard work! Keep at it!
