Don't waste your money on Lindbergs I-53. Blow it on this kit instead. This kit will be worth it,

A quality submarine kit in a common ship scale is welcome news. As for the Lindberg I-53, she'll need a lot of plastic surgery, but I was looking at backdating the design anyway.

The kit is nicely priced, but the PE is outrageous. 2400 ($25) for railing PE. Order Lionroar Japanese railing from Lucky model for around $10 and you'll have extra to do a Cruiser LOL
