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

Overview of the 1/350 Tamiya 78025 Yamato Model

The Tamiya 1/350 model of Battleship Yamato represents a focused effort to match the ship's appearance on her final mission. Built from thorough reference work, this kit brings improved moulding and detail that help modellers achieve an authentic finish.

Background and Notable Kit Details

As the lead ship of her class, Yamato stands out in naval history for her scale and design. Tamiya's model recreates that character with attention to scale shape and fittings. Builders can pick a waterline display or construct the full hull, and the latest tooling adds refined features to the foredeck, hull flanks and stern areas.

Enhanced Detailing for Realism

Separate deck parts make painting and assembly more straightforward while increasing realism. The main gun turrets are rotatable and include interior detail, and poly-cap systems let you adjust barrel elevation. Elastomer pieces simulate canvas coverings and sandbags, and the secondary weapons and AA mounts are movable for accurate poses.
