I-401 1:300 - modified Doyusha kit
Posted: Wed Aug 21, 2013 2:26 am
Hello!
My name is Arthur, I'm from Poland, I'm new here
Mainly , I'm a S-F and WHAT-IF modeller with growing interest in ships. A friend from other site recommended me this forum 'cause I have to rebuild very old model. Now I'm pretty sure that you can help me with this task:) I build few ships in my modelling career Now I have two completed models. First of them is I-401 by Doyusha, 1:300. Weak model , more a toy than scale sub. I've upgraded it a bit. Railings are made of cooper wire. From kit, only hull, conning tower and Seiran were used. Rest is scratchbuilt with help of "I-400. Japan's secret aircraft-carrying strike submarine" book. Painted with Humbrol and weathered with oils.
This is not RC model but still floating, I thought that photos on water would be more realistic. Hope you'll like it
