Japanese I-58 in 1/72 Scale
LISTING DETAILS :
The description for this and many other boats in this section are going to suffer from a lack of photos and video as I have a LOT of boats to go through one at a time to document for full listings.
This boat will be sold in fully tested, ready to run condition. If you are confident in my ability to furnish the boat as described, I urge you to purchase immediatley rather than wait. If you need or want to wait for a full series of photos and operational video, that is your perogative, but if another buyer purchases in advance, you will miss out.
A quick overview of this boat many others can be found in my weekly update video found here at the 18 minute mark.
SHIPPING TIME and COST:
The final checks with photos and video for the new owner will be processed on a first-come and first-served basis. I will communicate an estimated ship date upon purchase of the boat based on workloads and the evaluation queue ahead of you.
DESCRIPTION:
This is an incredibly rare submarine to see fully built out, particularly to the level of quality and care that this sub exhibits.
Overall length is over 58".
Originally based off of the Lindberg I-5 kit, this model has been outfitted with a custom watertight clyinder that features RCABS air pump ballast, pitch control and one of the most beautifully engineered retracting bow plane assemblies I've seen, particularly as this boat has very unique folding plane arrangement. Five Kaiten Kamikaze torpedoes are mounted to the deck. Control is via an older 75mhz radio system. Upgrading to a modern 900mhz system can be done for an additional $350 including labor.
This is absolutely one of the most unique subs you'll ever see at the pond. If you want to stand out, this is the way to do it!
NOTE: Due to the size and fragility of the model, shipping prices are not included in this listing and will be charged out on a separate invoice once shipping and logistics are finalized.
