Tamiya 78025 - 1/350 Scale Yamato Historic Battleship Kit  [78025]

Tamiya 78025 1/350 Scale Yamato - Kit Summary

Tamiya's 1/350 scale representation of the Battleship Yamato captures the ship's form with revised tooling and enhanced parts for greater accuracy. The model is based on recent references and aims to reproduce the Yamato's configuration during her final operations.

Historical Context and Kit Benefits

Yamato, as the class flagship, is notable for its scale and engineering. This kit reflects that presence with carefully modelled lines and options for display. Builders can opt for a waterline scene or a full-hull build, while updated detail work refines the foredeck, hull panels and stern.

Enhanced Detailing for Realism

Separate deck components simplify painting and provide sharper surface detail. Main turrets rotate and include internal detail, and poly-cap fittings enable adjustable elevation on the gun barrels. Elastomer parts provide realistic texture for canvas covers and sandbags and the smaller armaments retain movement for accurate posing.
