Also try the search with this, I did not know it was also spelled like this ( 伊-400 )

Or you can buy this and get a real good look, if you have paypal I can purchase this for you and you can send me the shipping cost and item with your address and I can send it to you.

Hey I just saw this thread - I'm going to be in Japan in 3 weeks!  I was thinking about stopping in Kure (going to Hiroshima for two days for the anniversary), but I didn't know what to look for.  From my limited research, it seemed as though there wasn't much WWII stuff to check out in Japan.  This museum is definitely something I want to look into since I'm starting my trip at Pearl Harbor.  It looks like everything is in Japanese only though.  I'm on the museum's site now but I can't tell - do they have anything in English?  Any audioguides?  

I can't seem to figure out how to PM you/contact you directly, so hopefully you'll see this in time.  I'm a newbie, so if anyone can help me get in contact with Boku4u, please let me know! 

Awesome pics, thanks for sharing.
