RGL Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share #61 Posted November 24, 2022 So looking at the old B&W images of IJN Subs, they were filthy things. So many images cover the big I400 class, and the older subs in 1/350 are not available anywhere in the world at a sensible price. My intention is to have one loading a torpedo, and lots of activity on the deck that one would expect for a replenishment operation.
