Description
Discover the intricacies of WWII history with Fine Molds' exceptional full injection-plastic kit of the "midget sub," a pivotal yet often overlooked piece of military hardware from the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Officially known as the "Ko-Hyoteki Ko-gata" or "A-Target Type A," this compact two-man submarine played a crucial role in the events of December 7th, carrying two torpedoes into the heart of the harbor. Not only were these subs the focus of the first shots exchanged between the U.S. and Japan during WWII, but they also marked the first ships sunk in this conflict, with one crew member becoming the first Japanese prisoner-of-war captured by the Americans. Despite the chaos of the attack, it's recorded that two of these submarines managed to infiltrate Pearl Harbor and launch their torpedoes, though the extent of the damage remains a topic of debate.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail after thorough research of the surviving submarines, this model kit impresses with its accurate surface weld marks and other fine details. Once assembled, the model stretches just over 30cm in length and comes complete with a display stand and markings for three different versions of the submarine, allowing for a personalized touch to your historical collection.
