Nisshin - version with seaplanes

The photos represent a cardboard model of the Nisshin seaplanes transporter. The model was made in 1: 200 scale. The work was awarded at the 8th Competition of Paper and Plastic Models in Świdnik, Poland in 2014.

The ship entered service in February 1942 after more than three years of construction. She was designed as a fast seaplane transporter. The ship was also adapted to deploying of sea mines. She could carry to 700 sea mines. During construction, the possibility of transporting 12 miniature submarines was also introduced.

At the beginning of her service, she joined the fleet befor the Battle of Midway in late May 1942. At that time, Nisshin was transporting miniature submarines that were to protect the atoll after capturing the islands. During this mission, she only had one seaplane on board. The ship returned to Japan after the Japanese lost the battle.

Later, Nisshin was used to transport soldiers and military equipment. She was sunk on July 22, 1943 by American bombers between the islands of the Solomon Archipelago, Bougainville and Choiseul.
