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

Introduction to the Tamiya 78025 1/350 Yamato

This Tamiya 1/350 scale model of the Battleship Yamato has been updated with careful research and new tooling to reflect her appearance on the final mission. The kit focuses on improved fidelity and parts that reproduce the ship's complex profile.

Significance and Key Kit Attributes

The Yamato served as the class leader and is renowned for its scale and engineering. Tamiya's kit aims to replicate that presence with precise moulding and build options. You can build the model as a waterline display or as a full-hull subject, with the latest tooling improving detail around the foredeck, hull sides and stern.

Enhanced Detailing for Realism

Separate deck mouldings make painting and finishing easier while amplifying surface detail. The main turrets rotate and include interior detail, and poly-cap technology allows gun elevation to be adjusted. Elastomer parts are used to recreate canvas covers and sandbags realistically, and the smaller armaments have rotational and elevation movement for authentic presentation.
