1/72 IJN submarine I-53 model
ModelExpo has the new Lindberg 1/72 I-53 sub on sale now for $109.99, regular price is $149.99.
1/72 scale = 58.5-inches long, so oversize shipping is charged ($7.50) Just thought I'd post this for any Japanese sub modelers who want a really big model! Link is here: http://www.modelexpo-online.com/prod...ITEMNO=LB70818 |

Can you explain why you did not like this model? It was one I was thinking of getting when I get back to modeling.

This would be fun to convert to RC.

it's too bad, what a way to bomb a model. You would think they would research the thing before they...mold it?

Yuck. Maybe I won't add this to my list. Thanks for the links. Too bad though.
