Built in Japan 1936-38 on a Soviet contract, Soya's delivery was canceled due to tension between the Empire and the USSR. Purchased by the IJN in 1939, Soya survived multiple US and British attacks in WW II, with damage and crew losses. Postwar, the vessel helped to repatriate refugees from Japanese territory seized and occupied by the USSR. After that, Soya enjoyed a long career as an ice breaker and rescue ship. In 1959, news outlets around the world reported Soya's rescue of two huskie dogs after severe weather had forced an earlier expedition to leave them behind. She is now a museum ship, restored to her original, 'as launched' commercial freighter configuration. The long career of this ship exemplifies the recovery and resurgence of the spirit of modern Japan. This model is from all new molds and does justice to this historic vessel. The full-hull model features 323 pieces and includes all deck fittings, float plane, helicopter and more. Never started.

Swift Boats were shallow-draft, high-speed boats of all aluminum construction and powered by a matched pair of V-12 Detroit Diesels. Their primary function in Viet Nam was coastal surveillance. They were equipped with radar, radio and several searchlights, along with bunks, refrigerator, stove and head. They were capable of 25 knots and required only 4 feet of water to operate in. In some operations Swifts teamed up with Destroyer Escorts (DEs) thus extending their rand and capabilities using the DEs as mobile bases carrying spare crew, fuel and other supplies for the Swifts. In this way the Swifts could operate in coastal waters too shallow for the larger vessels then run in for a pit stop, ready to charge again with a fresh crew, fuel and supplies. Monogram designed this kit from official information and drawings from Sewart Seacraft, Inc and the US navy.
