Tamiya 78002 Yamato Classic 1/350 Model Kit  [78002]

Yamato Warship Rendered at 1/350 Scale

The Tamiya 78002 captures the Yamato's silhouette and structural detail at a manageable 1/350 scale. The parts are sculpted to reflect the ship's profile, offering a rewarding build that highlights period naval architecture.

Significance and Structural Details

Commissioned before the Second World War, the Yamato was famed for its size and armament, including nine 46cm guns. This kit reproduces the vessel's distinctive hull proportions and gun placement, helping modellers study the craft behind its defensive design.

Construction Experience and Presentation

Putting together the Tamiya 78002 is a hands-on modelling task that benefits from careful trimming and painting. Finished models display well on stands or in cabinets and fit alongside other 1/350 warship collections.
