Ive got the Tamiya 1/48 Aichi Seiran in the stash derek, and i often toy with the idea of making a dio of the tube entrance with the folded seiran just being taken out, but 1/72 would probably be more realistic. Who knows though , trumpeter might just go and make a 1/48 scale I 400 to put the seiran on!!!!!(imagine that!!? it would be about 10 foot long!!!) tony
