Hobbyboss IJN I-400 Submarine - 1/700 Scale Plastic Model Kit - Unboxing Review

[@santiagojoseporrosantos6006]

I recently got a Hobbyboss 1/72 P-38 Lightning and I have to say I was impressed in a good way when I opened the box! All sprues separated in individual bags, the decals with the protection paper taped, foam wrapped around the small parts and the instructions in colour with the number of Mr Hobby, Tamiya and Humbrol paints on it. And the details on the plastic parts are really decent. Looking forward to see you building this submarine! Looks great!

Yes, hobby boss in my experience have done really nicely moulded parts and packaged them well!

[@djbrown1976]

Looking forward to see how this turns out keep up the good work thoroughly enjoy your channel

[@ModelMinutes]

Build video coming soon! Thanks for watching :D

[@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels]

Now this looks like its a really interesting kit! You don't often see model kits of the Japanese catapult submarines. I'm really tempted to try and get this kit. Anyway great review Matt, BTW I'm glad to hear your using music in your review videos too!

[@ModelMinutes]

Yes, this is a cool little kit! I'm trying to make my videos a little more interesting by adding a few extra things

[@yuriurbanavicius7013]

Thanks for the video. Finished watching it and ordered the kit 😁

[@ModelMinutes]

awesome!

[@joeshmoe9978]

That's nice how the stand is pre-made. I'll bet that removing the airplane's propeller, without breaking it, is going to be a challenge.

[@ModelMinutes]

Yes! It can be a bit of a fiddle - but the stand is a nice inclusion

[@kevinsharkey1336]

excellent review.

[@ModelMinutes]

Glad you liked it!

Seems like it would be a quick weekend build and paint. Seems reasonable for a fiver (or so) but wouldn't give more than that for it. Nice vid, good review. Build it I say...

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks! Yes, it is a nice easy kit to put together :D

[@ajthorn]

how come you do so many more unboxings than actual builds? id love to see these things fully built

[@ModelMinutes]

Unboxing videos only take a few hours to record and edit, as you can imagine, builds take considerably longer. I have got 5 build videos ready to be edited, but with an average of 6 hours spent scripting, recording audio, editing images and video, rendering and uploading it's just a matter of finding the time :(

I recommend the aoshima 1/700 USS Wasp or 1/2000 USS Lexington

[@ModelMinutes]

I'll have to investigate!

If you enjoyed building the I-400, you should try this Flyhawk 1/700 U-boat in drydock kit. Very nice. www.scalemates.com/products/img/4/8/5/276485-11575-22-pristine.jpg

[@ModelMinutes]

That does look very interesting!

[@AmishGangsterWith_a_Hellcat]
