The Type B-1 submarines, designed by the Japanese Navy, were a key element of Japan's war strategy during 1940-1945 (World War II). Built between 1937-1942, these vessels served both as long-range submarine cruisers and as carriers for reconnaissance seaplanes. The famous I-15, one of the first completed in this series, took part in operations accompanying the attack on Pearl Harbor and in reconnaissance missions across the Pacific. Japan utilized these submarines for extensive raiding operations and direct coastal reconnaissance of enemy territories, including the USA and Australia.

The Kagero 16073 publication stands out thanks to its detail and high-quality 3D graphics, which break down the construction of this advanced vessel. The album provides an excellent reference for modelers preparing to build plastic or resin models in 1/350 or 1/700 scale, as well as for historians and military technology enthusiasts.
