HB actually made an excellent model of HEIAN MARU as a submarine tender. But not easily found these days.

Well done. The Heian Maru is actually a Konishi--Hikawa Maru as a hospital ship, modified by me to the tender by adding AA armament and various other details.

Source Combined fleet website.

19 November 1943:
At 0724 (JST), the convoy is attacked by LtCdr (later Captain) Joseph Enright's (USNA ’33) USS DACE on her first patrol. Enright targets HEIAN MARU. A torpedo barely misses the bow of OKI. The kaibokan counter-attacks with depth-charges. Even HEIAN MARU drops a DC, but the USS DACE escapes undamaged.

sub is Neptun Gato class.
The Heian Maru model looks like the HB model that has been modified.
