Tamiya Models sends us news of two very interesting limited edition releases, the 1/300 IJN Yugumo and Yukikaze with submarine motor.
An improvement over the Kagero-class destroyers, the Yugumo-class of 19 ships served with distinction throughout WWII. The lead ship of the class, Yugumo, now returns with a clip-on electric submarine motor, enabling forward and circular running in the water. Features classic box art by Mr. Shigeru Komatsuzaki.

One of the very few Japanese Navy destroyers to survive WWII, the famous Yukikaze makes a return, this time with a clip-on electric submarine motor, which enables forward and circular running in the water. Features the classic box art of Mr. Kihachiro Ueda.

It might be almost worth it to pick one up just to get the neat little motor. 300 scale is way to big for my scale and as I quit playing with my models some 40 years ago Ithink I''ll take a well considered pass at this one.

Gad, is this a blast from the past or what? It reminds me of all the mechanized "toys" that Tamiya used to make, with hulls that were no real scale, as long as they fit the battery and motor. Or the bathtub toys we'd take to the pool. Crazy.

Get this. Also in this line is the 1/35 PBR and the 1/35 USMC AAV7 amtrack. I wonder if my sister will let me put the amtrack in her pool?
