Yamato Commemorative Release in 1/700 Scale

The Tamiya 31544 model represents the Japanese battleship Yamato at 1/700 scale, released to celebrate the Water Line Series 40th year. The kit depicts Yamato in her last known configuration before sailing toward Okinawa, making it a solid choice for hobbyists focused on period-correct naval models.

Notable Model Features and Fidelity

The Yamato's reputation as one of the largest battleships is matched here with detailed moulding that preserves the ship's outline and structure. The kit includes the pronounced bow flare, armor belt cues, and the main and secondary artillery mounts. Finer items such as rangefinders, radar masts, and small deck cranes are supplied for a thorough build experience.

  • Completed Length: 375mm
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Required: Yes

What finishing techniques work best on this kit?

Light priming followed by thin coats of paint will preserve detail. Weathering with washes and dry brushing adds depth to the deck and superstructure features.

Are decals included for markings?

The kit includes the standard decal sheet for the represented configuration. For alternative markings, look for aftermarket decal sets that match the Yamato's late-war appearance.

Can this kit be displayed alongside other 1/700 ships?

Yes, the 1/700 scale is ideal for grouping multiple warships. Its completed length of 375mm fits well in standard display arrangements for naval collections.
