LINDBERG JAPANESE SUB 1/72 , REALLY NOT THAT BAD.
Even though it has a few problems with the scale of the hatches, and the shape of the front, it's still a cool model. Perfect for making R/C. the hatches can be replaced with the correct size from ShapeWays, they make 3D printed ones for about 12.00 ea, need 4.

Lindberg's lack of research into the I-53
A cursory search on the internet reveals that Lindberg's I-53 couldn't be more inaccurate. There isn't one line or detail on this model that resembles the real thing. Except for...the Kaitens supplied are accurate amazingly enough. That being said it is still a pretty cool model if accuracy isn't your thing and you just want something big (58") sitting on your shelf. Goes together easy too due to the pretty good engineering of the kit. There are aftermarket photo-etch sets from Eduard and corrected 3d printed hatches from Shape-ways. But those are just details and still leaves this rendition sub-par, (pun intended). To bad they didn't do their research, it could have been an epic model.

Interesting,cool model.
It is known to not be an entirely accurate representation of a real ship.Seems like the parts fit well and with screws and glue it should be easy to do make as a static model.I intend to make it rc though, when I get to it.

Great Detailed Model kit Japanese I-53 Submarine.
It is very nice molded kit. I do know history of production that went on and design of getting this kit out and I know folks that worked getting made and accuracy issues with the four hatch's and the Front nose shape . I have heard about a resin aftermarket front end replacement . It is designed to build up easy with screws . I may end up buying another one
