Tamiya 89714 - 1/700 Indianapolis and I-58 Late Dual Ship Kit  [89714]

Tamiya 89714 1/700 Indianapolis and I-58 Late Scale Overview

The Tamiya kit recreates two key World War II vessels at 1/700 scale, giving model builders a hands-on way to study the USS Indianapolis and the Japanese submarine I-58. The parts are produced to show crisp surface detail while allowing careful assembly and finishing choices.

Naval History and Accuracy

The USS Indianapolis is noted for transporting components related to the atomic bomb destined for Hiroshima, and it was later sunk by I-58 in a pivotal wartime episode. This kit focuses on external shapes and fittings so builders can represent that historic narrative accurately in miniature.

Modeling Experience and Display Value

At 1/700 scale this Tamiya release offers a sensible balance of detail and buildability, making it suitable for patient newcomers and experienced modellers alike. Finished models display well on shelves or within a grouped fleet layout.
