This is a completed 1/700 scale diorama model of the Imperial Japanese Navy's auxiliary submarine tender, the Heian Maru. (Made with resin) The Heian Maru was commissioned as a sister ship to the Hikawa Maru, but was caught in the war, requisitioned, and served as a submarine tender. This work depicts the ship during its deployment to Truk Atoll in historical fact, showing it resupplying the I-58 and I-68 (I-168) along with numerous tugboats and other service vessels. We will ship with care, but due to the delicate nature of this completed precision model, some parts may be damaged during transit. In such cases, please repair it yourself. Thank you for your understanding.
