Hobby Boss 87001 1:700 JMSDF Oyashio Submarine Overview

The JMSDF Oyashio Class marked an important step in Japan's postwar submarine development. Launched in 1998, these boats introduced bow-mounted torpedo tubes and conformal sonar arrays. Nine 268-foot vessels were commissioned, with further units planned into the late 2000s. This Hobby Boss kit captures the class detail faithfully for collectors and builders who value authenticity.

Builder Notes and Display Potential

The Hobby Boss 1:700 scale kit delivers finely moulded components and a fit that rewards careful assembly. Options for torpedo and missile fittings let you customise the final look, making the completed model a strong addition to any modern naval display.

The kit has small, detailed parts and is best for modellers with some experience. Take your time with glue and dry fits to ensure clean joins.
Use model-grade plastic cement for assembly and acrylic or enamel hobby paints for finishing. Priming small parts helps paint adhesion and reveals fit issues before final assembly.
Yes. The 1:700 scale is well suited to carrier or fleet dioramas; consider a simple water base or a surface display with a clear stand for museum-style presentation.
