Authentic Yamato in 1/350 Scale

The Tamiya 78002 kit provides a faithful scaled interpretation of the Yamato battleship, focusing on the ship's main features and silhouette. The parts are engineered to represent the original vessel's proportions for display-quality results.

Historical Context and Major Features

The Yamato entered service in 1940 and was notable for its massive size and nine 46cm guns. This model reproduces the ship's short, heavily armoured hull and gun placement, giving builders insight into its unique design choices.

Modelling Process and Showcase Advice

Building the Tamiya 78002 calls for precise assembly and careful finishing to bring out detail. When complete, the model stands out in any collection and works well in a dedicated case or alongside other 1/350 vessels.

Is the kit period accurate for the early 1940s?

The kit reflects the Yamato's early wartime configuration and is suitable for displays representing its 1940s appearance.

Do decals cover national markings?

Decals supplied in the kit cover basic identification markings, but additional decal sets are available from third parties for alternative schemes.

How do I maintain the finished model?

Keep the model out of direct sunlight, dust regularly with a soft brush, and handle by the hull to avoid damaging fine details.
