HASEGAWA SP436 SHINKAI 6500 MANNED RESEARCH SUBMERSIBLE +SEABED DISPLAY
1/72 SCALE
DESCRIPTION:
SHINKAI 6500 is a manned submersible that can dive to depths of 6,500 meters – deeper than any other manned submersible for academic research all over the world today. In 1991, SHINKAI 6500 began its mission to study seafloor topography and geology and research deep-sea organisms in the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Indian Ocean as well as the sea around Japan. The total number of dives reached 1500 in 2017.
In March 2012, JAMSTEC completed the major upgrade of SHINKAI 6500, which was the largest scale since its launch.
The original main swing-type aft thruster was replaced by two middle-sized fixed-type aft thrusters, and an additional horizontal aft thruster was installed so that the submersible can turn quickly and smoothly. Motors for all thrusters, a hydraulic pump and a sea-water pump were also replaced by new motors for better response, acceleration and braking performance.
