Mikro Mir MM35-019 Japan suicide torpedo Kaiten type 2 Scale 1:35 Plastic Model Submarine Kit

Kaiten Type 2 plastic model kit in 1/35 scale by Mikro Mir represents a Japanese manned torpedo developed during World War II. The kit depicts the Type 2 variant of the Kaiten program, an underwater craft based on torpedo technology and designed for single-operator missions. This plastic model kit is supplied unpainted and unassembled.

The Kaiten program was introduced by the Imperial Japanese Navy during the later stages of World War II as part of experimental naval weapon development. The Type 2 design was a later concept intended to improve operational range and performance compared with earlier versions.

Kaiten Type 2 - World War II Manned Torpedo Craft

The craft featured a long cylindrical hull derived from torpedo construction with an enclosed pilot compartment and internal propulsion system. Although only limited numbers were produced and the Type 2 remained largely experimental, the design reflects the technological direction of late-war naval engineering efforts.

For modelers: The Kaiten’s streamlined cylindrical hull benefits from careful seam alignment and surface preparation to maintain the clean shape characteristic of torpedo-based underwater craft.
