Hasegawa SP492 1/72 Shinkai 6500 Scale Replica

This Hasegawa SP492 1/72 model reproduces the iconic manned research submersible with careful attention to form and surface detail. The kit mirrors the Shinkai 6500's distinctive profile and gives modellers a chance to study a landmark of deep sea technology.

Assembly Notes and Display Potential

The parts layout rewards careful builders who enjoy precise fitting and fine finishing. Small components and decal placement ask for steady hands, and the completed model makes an imposing piece for displays focused on oceanography or engineering milestones.

Legacy and Exploration Milestones

Launched in 1989, the Shinkai 6500 reached depths of 6,500 meters and opened new opportunities for seabed research. This kit marks the 30th anniversary of that achievement and celebrates the submersible's role in advancing marine science.
