TAMIYA 1/700 WATER LINE SERIES JAPANESE BATTLESHIP YAMATO
The Legendary Battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy
This plastic model assembly kit recreates the legendary Japanese battleship Yamato, one of the most iconic warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
Completed in December 1941, Yamato had a standard displacement of 64,000 tonnes and was armed with nine formidable 46cm main guns, capable of firing shells up to 41km. Her construction incorporated numerous innovative shipbuilding technologies and production management techniques.
Based on the latest historical research, this model faithfully recreates Yamato in her final configuration as she set sail for Okinawa on her last mission.
The imposing hull features realistically reproduced details, including the distinctive flare of the bow and the armour belt along the sides.
Each main gun barrel is moulded as a separate part, allowing for enhanced detail. The model also features an impressive array of weaponry, including 15.5cm secondary guns, 12.7cm anti-aircraft guns and additional anti-aircraft machine guns installed to counter the increasing threat of aerial attacks.
Finely detailed components, such as rangefinders, direction-finding equipment and jib cranes, further enhance the model's authenticity and capture the powerful, distinctive appearance of this legendary battleship.
