I'm kind of wondering why they chose to do a late war I-56? The Tamiya I-58 is an excellent kit and can be made into her other two sisters. I remember Pitroad had a Type KD3A/B I-158 submarine on their future to do list. Unfortunately it never happened. The I-60 of this class was sunk by the HMS Jupiter shortly before Jupiters demise.
