Plastic model
[Scale] 1/700
This special edition of the Imperial Japanese Navy series "Japanese Navy Battleship Yamato" includes photo-etched parts and wooden deck decals! The product is a full-hull model that can reproduce the entire ship, including the bottom, and comes with a display stand for enjoyment after completion.
The product is modeled after the appearance during Operation Ten-Go in 1945.
[Hull] The hull is constructed with the port and starboard sides and the upper wooden deck section integrated into one unit.
- The portholes, a characteristic feature of the later stages of the war, are depicted in a closed-off state using raised molding.
- The wooden deck is represented by raised molding.
The hull and bottom plate, as well as the other parts, are molded in gray.
The bridge and funnel are constructed from two halves joined together.
The lower part of the hull is constructed from a single molded part, while the propeller and rudder are separate parts.
[Equipment] This equipment represents the final configuration with enhanced anti-aircraft armament. The main guns have the barrel and canvas integrated, and the elevation angle is fixed at the locking position.
The secondary guns consist of only two, which were reduced during the refit, and the turret and gun barrel are integrated into a single part.
- The 25mm triple machine gun (without shield) comes with both conventional molded parts and precisely molded parts from the 2018 model kit, allowing for selection.
- The barrel elevation of the shielded 25mm triple machine gun can be selected from two positions: high elevation and locked position.
- The machine gun mounts added to the main gun turret roofs and stern are reproduced using dedicated parts.
The set includes two types of carrier-based reconnaissance seaplanes: the Type 0 Observation Seaplane and the Type 0 (three-seat) Seaplane Reconnaissance Seaplane, with two of each included.
- The molded color of the carrier-based aircraft is gray, chosen for ease of assembly.
[Decals] Three types of decals are included, one of each.
Decals including naval ensigns, the Japanese flag, and aircraft markings.
Decals include draft markings, the chrysanthemum emblem on the bow, and the ship's name on the stern (two types: gold and solid battleship gray).
- Decals included to easily represent the walkway on the aircraft deck at the rear of the ship.
[Etched Parts] Etched parts are included that allow for detailed expression of features that are difficult to reproduce with injection-molded parts.
The etched parts are made of brass and come in two types, one of each.
The photo-etched parts include ladders, ladders, direction finders, signal light posts, window frames for the compass bridge, and the Type 21 radar.
Etching sizes Large etching (approx.): 96 x 180 mm Small etching (approx.): 38 x 180 mm [Wooden deck decals] The wooden deck decals are surface-processed with a laser cutter to reproduce the irregular wood grain pattern.
It is cut to match the deck parts and consists of two pieces, divided into front and back sections.
This product allows you to easily and realistically reproduce the intricate lines and patterns of wooden decks that are difficult to achieve with paint alone.
*This product is made in Japan.
