I like it, everything except the price. Tamiya sure is proud of their kits!

Glad to see it's 1/350. Although still too small for my eyes. I wonder if we'll eventually see a 1/72 scale Japanese fleet sub from Revel Germany.

Nice....
Although I'm with Dave on this I would like to see Revell do thier fine work on sub's from the world, a Jap fleet sub would be nice but also a British Triton class or Upholder and Italian Marcello class to go along with the U-boat's and Gato that they have done.

Just my 0.02pence worth

Whooaa $69 that'll be £40 over here!
I agree with those who say its about time we had some British subs. My choice might be for S class, k class might be fun too. Especially as I haven't built my nichimo I -19 yet

Lindberg has a 1/72 C-1 and C-3, but to my knowledge they are of far less quality than the Revell subs in 1/72
