Fine Molds A-Target Type A Midget Submarine Sydney Bay, 1/72, FS3
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+

Very well detailed and comes with a scale torpedo model and displays stands for it and the submarine as well. Includes paint guide and decals. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. From 31 May to 8 June 1942, during World War II, Imperial Japanese Navy submarines made a series of attacks on the Australian cities of Sydney and Newcastle. On the night of 31 May – 1 June, three Ko-hyoteki-class midget submarines, (M-14, M-21 and M-24) each with a two-member crew, entered Sydney Harbor, avoided the partially constructed anti-submarine boom net and attempted to sink Allied warships. Two of the midget submarines were detected and attacked before they could engage any Allied vessels. The crew of M-14 scuttled their submarine, whilst M-21 was successfully attacked and sunk. The crew of M-21 killed themselves. These submarines were later recovered by the Allies. The third submarine attempted to torpedo the heavy cruiser USS Chicago, but instead sank the converted ferry HMAS Kuttabul, killing 21 sailors. This midget submarine's fate was unknown until 2006, when amateur scuba divers discovered the wreck off Sydney's northern beaches.
