Trumpeter 05911 Japanese Soryu Class Attack Submarine 1/144

Introducing a unique plastic model kit: Trumpeter 05911 Japanese Soryu Class Attack Submarine in 1/144 scale. This is a faithfully reproduced replica of the Japanese Soryu-class submarine, one of the most advanced vessels of its kind in the world. This model belongs to the category of plastic model kits and was produced by the renowned company Trumpeter — guaranteeing the highest quality in detail and precise fit of parts.

The Soryu class consists of twelve conventional submarines (SS) serving in the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). They were built in the Mitsubishi and Kawasaki shipyards in Kobe. The first two units, Soryu (SS-501) and Unryu (SS-502), entered service in 2009 and 2010 respectively, and inherited the historic names of Japanese aircraft carriers from World War II. These submarines have the largest displacement among any JMSDF units since the end of World War II.

The Soryu class is based on the earlier Oyashio class design but features revolutionary propulsion systems – four Stirling engines (AIP), two Kawasaki diesel engines, and two electric motors. The submarines are armed with Type 89 torpedoes and UGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles. The Soryu class serves in Japan’s modern armed forces, providing a crucial element of maritime defense in the 21st century.
