Really nice work, Shinpachi!

Is that an I-400 class sub?

Oh, GrauGeist. Thank you very much for your prompt response.
Yes, it is I-400 and I've just started making it on CG with as much details as possible.
Please look forward to it.

My general concept for the model is almost like the image attached.
I will make up each part checking technical specs on the docs and photos.
Please enjoy together.

Thank you very much for your friendly posts, Aaron, Gnomey, Lucky13 and Wayne!

I-400 class sumarines left a lot of photographs taken by the US Navy but little original documents of IJN.
So, I was not interested in modelling them at all though I knew there is a good operation manual of I-14
whose basic structure is very similar to I-400 class.

A few weeks ago, I came across a very historical record of I-402, titled "Delivery List of I-402 dated October 5th, 1945" at JACAR site. It begins like this -

Delivery List of I-402 dated October 5th, 1945
============================
1. Completion date: July 24, 1945
2. List of Main Terms
a. Vessel type: Submarine
b. Displacement(standard): 5,284 tons
c. Length/Beam: 122 meters(400 ft)/9.8 meters(32.13 ft)
d. Draft(average): 7.46 meters(24.46 ft)
e. Speed: 18.9 knots(surfaced)
6.8 knots(submerged)
f. Range: 33,000 nautical miles at 12 knots surfaced
g. Power plant: 4 x diesel engines
2 x electric motors
3. Summary of present condition
Classification*******Item********Quantity********P resent condition
========*******===*******=====********===========
Hull&Equipment*****ditto************************Fu lly equipped
*************Heavy oil tank*******31 tanks

For more details, I will make up a translated list in the excel format on the other day.
There are all equipments, fuel, oil, armaments and even foods in details on the list.
Original copy is attached here for your quick reference in pdf style.

.............I have found out no reason not making the I-400 on my CG.

Type96 25mm anti-aircraft gun(triple mount).

As I have made it referring to the general type for IJN battleships, gun sight design seems of old type when I-400 had simpler type. I mustl correct it referring to some photographs.
Correction and modification are not easy job even for CG modelling

I know this question has been asked but I couldn't find the answer...

What program do you use to make your 3D models? Is that the same program you use to render your images?

Hello...I'm back again!
