VLOCKer's VL-22895 Fiore Laurel Folia Plastic Model Kit – Metro Hobbies

The I-1 was a Japanese submarine cruiser that entered service with the Imperial Japanese Navy in March 1926. The length of the ship at the time of launching was 98 m, width 9.1 m, and the underwater displacement - 2,800 tons. The maximum speed of the I-1 on the surface was up to 18 knots. The main armament was six 533 mm torpedo tubes with 14 spare torpedoes, and the secondary armament was two 140 mm guns. I-1 could descend to a maximum depth of 80 meters. The I-1 was an ocean-going submarine cruiser - the first of four units of the same type as the I-1. Its strong artillery armament - for submarines - predestined it to fight on the surface with enemy merchant ships and enemy light surface ships. Similar design assumptions were also used on other submarines
