Bandai takes us to the depths of the Pacific Ocean with their 1/48 Shinkai 6500 Deep Sea Manned Submersible.
The Shinkai 6500 is a manned research submersible that can dive up to a depth of 6,500 m. It was completed in 1990 and has the greatest depth range of any manned research vehicle in the world.
Bandai’s 1/48 kit features an unbelievable amount of detail. Due out early this month, this kit will retail for approximately $62.00 USD

I've just received one of these kits a few days ago and just started the build as a byside build to my other kits. It's a straight forward build. Parts are nicely detailed and the LED Illumination is also a cool feature. Unfortunally, following the included instructions, there is no use of the deep sea animals decals provided (33+34). The parts are injected in different colors. This gives even the beginner to buid up a colored boat. For the professionals, there's enough space for improvement.
