Fujimi 43063 Yu-1001 DX 1/350 Submergence Transport Kit  [FJ-43063]

Fujimi 43063 - 1/350 scale IJN Type 3 Yu-1001 DX submergence transport model

The Fujimi 43063 kit delivers a faithful 1/350 representation of the IJN Type 3 Submergence Transport Vehicle, designated Yu-1001. This compact WWII cargo submarine is recreated with attention to hull form and fittings to reflect its role carrying supplies beneath the surface to avoid detection.

Background and modelling interest

Submergence transport vehicles like Yu-1001 were developed to move materiel to remote garrisons while minimising exposure to enemy forces. The Fujimi 43063 captures that niche naval engineering and offers modellers a chance to study unusual submarine architecture while assembling a detailed scale replica.

Assembly and display notes

Building the Fujimi 43063 requires careful trimming and alignment, making it best suited to hobbyists with prior kit experience. Once painted and finished, the model makes a discreet but informative display piece that fits well with other 1/350 naval subjects.
