FineMolds Japanese Midget Sub

Doesn't the kit provide the cradles for both the sub and the torpedo? Is it the same kit with this?:

For a better display base than provided by the kit, I'd recommend Lindberg's IJN I-53 1:72. It comes with similar midget submarines, but I believe Finemold's one has better details. In that case you'll need three more midget subs.

the kit provides bases. i am looking for photos of the actual cradle they put on the I-boats to carry the midget subs. the lindberg model has kaitens not midget subs. according to Burl Burlingame in ADVANCED FORCE PEARL HARBOR, pg 10, no photos of the cradles for the pearl harbor subs exists. he has a photo from later in the war which, along with the box art, should be enough to build a relatively accurate one.

Bruce Salmon has a very nice build article at Hyperscale

The subtle green shade in the hull's black color matches well with the color as described to me by the aforementioned Burl Burlingame.  Burl & I were teamed as judges at last year's IPMS Nats.   According to Burl, when loaded before departing for Pearl they were this sort of black green.   As deployed, they were more of a charcoal or MM Engine Gray - the green had worn/oxidized enroute. 

thanks for the color info. here is another review of the kit;
