The Submarine I-16 & 1-58 produced by Tamiya in 1/700 scale assembly kit, is classified in Scale Models - Military Series - Navy - Submarine

A submarine element ended up being included between the escort team for the Japanese Navy's historic assault on Pearl Harbor in WWII. Naval modelers can now replicate another part of the Pearl Harbor hit force with this re-packaged model kit.


About the I-16 & I-58

The Japanese Navy's daring plan for a surprise attack on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor called for the usage of an Advanced Expeditionary Force composed of 20 fleet submarines. These were mainly to supply a screen and diminish the amounts of any U.S. Navy force that attempted to reach the Japanese carrier group. But 5 among these fleet submarines, I-16, I-18, I-20, I-22, and I-24, additionally carried 2-man Ko-hyoteki midget submarines tasked with penetrating the harbor defenses to create torpedo assaults. These midget submarines were launched, but none ever came back from their missions.
