Product introduction Battleship Yamato, the symbol of the combined fleet, is re-released with additional armament and rigging parts and specification changes! The product is an unpainted kit that requires adhesive assembly and painting.
The scale is 1/700, and it is an offshore model that does not include the bottom of the ship.
This product consists of a conventional (special series) mold and newly designed additional parts.
Battleship Yamato is the first ship of the last Yamato-class ship designed and built by the Japanese Navy, and was completed in December 1949 at the Kure Naval Arsenal, shortly after the outbreak of the war.
It was equipped with nine main guns, the world's largest 46cm guns, and had a displacement of 64,000 tons, making it an unprecedented ship.
Immediately after completion, it was transferred to the Combined Fleet, and as aircraft were becoming the mainstay of the era, Yamato underwent renovations to strengthen its anti-aircraft armament, and sortied into the Battle of the Mariana Coast and the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
In April 1945, the U.S. military landed in Okinawa, and Yamato set out as a special surface attack unit with an escort of light cruisers and destroyers, but her advance was blocked by U.S. military aviation and she sank off the coast of Cape Bono, Kyushu.

- The product is based on the appearance of the first Yamato-class battleship "Yamato" when it was completed in December 1944.
