<b> The World's Largest "Submarine Carrier" </b> <p> The I-400 was a submarine the likes of which the world had never seen before. At the time of their completion, the I-400 and her sister ships were the largest, and arguably the most advanced submarines in the world. With a 122m length, 12m width, and 6,560 ton displacement, their size rivalled that of destroyers of the time and their amazing endurance could allow them to traverse the globe one and a half times. Loaded with 3 Seiran bombers, the planned attack on the Panama Canal was only moments away from reality. Diverted to attack the gathering Allied invasion fleet at Ulithi, the war ended before the submarines could launch their strike. However, the I-400 class submarines' technological advances were recognized and it can be said that they helped influence the development of nuclear ballistic submarines after the war. </p> <b> Features </b> <ui> <li> 1/350 scale assembly kit model. </li> <li> Length: 348.5mm </li> <li> Hull comprised of upper and lower sections for ease of assembly. </li> <li> Hangar features realistic interior details and can store 3 Seiran aircraft. </li> <li> Parts included for 2 Seiran aircraft with wings extended, which can be posed on the catapult or on the included display stand. </li> <li> Large set of precision-made photo-etched parts included for the ultimate finish. </li> <li> Features such as the crane and antennae can be posed in extended or retracted positions. </li> <li> Includes special display stand. </li> </ui>

<p>The Nitta Maru was a Japanese passenger ship (so-called transatlantic) from the interwar period and World War II. The keel for this unit was laid in 1938, the launch took place in May 1939, and entry into service took place in 1940. The total length of the ship was 170 meters and a width of 22.5 meters. The maximum speed did not exceed 22-23 knots. At the time of launching, the vessel had no on-board armament. Nitta Maru was able to take up to 285 passengers on board.</p> <p>The Nitta Maru was built at the Nagasaki shipyard owned by Mitsubishi as the leader of its class. At the time of designing, it was assumed that the ship would provide the highest possible comfort of travel - especially for first-class passengers - which, among other things, resulted in the installation of an air-conditioning system in the cabins. It was assumed that the unit would serve connections, especially between Japan and Europe. However, from the moment of launching to the beginning of 1941, the unit operated mainly on the connection with the USA, calling most often at the port of San Francisco. In 1942, Nitta Maru was taken over by the Japanese Navy and converted into a Chuyo escort carrier.</p> <p>This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.</p>

<p>USS Nimitz (CVN-68) Largely completed by 1973, USS Nimitz was not commissioned until 1975 due to the late delivery of essential components for her nuclear powerplant. In 1975, Nimitz joined the Atlantic fleet, ending Enterprise's reign as the largest warship in the world. The carrier's flight deck is generally the same as that of the Kitty hawk, but with the cut-off forward flight deck first seen on the John F.Kennedy. Between 1975 and 1985, Nimitz made numerous cruises in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. In 1980, the carrier made a round-the-world deployment. While in the Indian Ocean, she served as the sea borne base for the abortive Teheran hostage rescue mission, Operation Eagle Claw. At the start of the 1981 Mediterranean cruise, the F-14 made its air-to-air combat debut when two VF-41 Tomcats from Nimitz shot down two attacking Libyan Sukhoi su-22 fighters. In 1987, Nimitz transferred from the Atlantic Fleet to the Pacific Fleet, embarking Air Wing Nine which had previously been attached to the USS Kitty Hawk. Due to a shortage of F-14Bs, Nimitz's two Tomcat units transitioned back to the F-14A in early 1992.</p> <h3> <br>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Total Parts 962pcs</li> <li>Metal Parts Metal hull frame and screws</li> <li>Total Sprues 31pcs sprues plus lower hull, upper hull, waterline plate, hangar decks, flight decks</li> <li>display stand</li> <li>Paint Schemes U.S. CVN-68 Nimitz aircraft carrier 1975 version</li> <li>Either waterline version or full hull version can be selected</li> <li>6 Phantoms</li> <li>3 Intruders</li> <li>6 Corsair II s</li> <li>1 Hawkeye</li> <li>1 Vigilante</li> <li>2 Vikings</li> <li>2 Skywarriors</li> <li>1 sea King</li> <li>Total of 22 aircrafts with clear canopy, folding wings, especially with clear fuselage and folding rotor on the helicopter.</li> </ul>
