Anniversary Edition: Yamato in 1/700 Scale

The Tamiya 31544 kit captures the Japanese battleship Yamato at 1/700 scale as part of the Water Line Series 40th anniversary. The release shows Yamato in her final pre-Okinawa configuration and is aimed at modellers who prioritise historical accuracy and detailed assembly work.

Design Accuracy and Small-Scale Details

The Yamato was among the largest capital ships ever completed, and this model mirrors key structural aspects with fine plastic moulding. The kit reproduces the bow flare, armor belt representation, and both main and secondary gun turrets. Smaller items including rangefinders, radar units, and deck cranes are provided to enhance realism.

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Completed Length: 375mm
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Required: Yes
  • Paint and Glue Required: Yes

How detailed are the small fittings on this kit?

The kit includes a good level of small fittings for the scale, such as radar and rangefinder parts. Careful assembly and painting will show these elements clearly.

Is this suitable for diorama work?

Yes, the 1/700 scale and accurate hull profile make the model a strong candidate for diorama scenes, especially harbour or task force displays.

Where can I source extra detail parts?

Aftermarket suppliers offer photoetched sets, brass railings, and replacement masts compatible with this kit. Check compatibility notes to ensure correct fit for Tamiya 31544.
