Ship model Yamato All new tooling.
This 1/350 model (length 73cm at the waterline) reproduces the legendary Japanese battleship Yamato in the configuration of its last mission.
It was sunk on April 7, 1945 at 14:20, 200km off Okinawa.

The sleeves at the base of the main turret gun tubes are made of white elastomer, as well as the representations of the sandbags protecting the anti-aircraft positions.
The tubes of the main turrets can be presented lifted of 3° or 30° thanks to the assembly on nylon rings.
The rotation and elevation of the secondary turrets as well as the AA 12.7mm and 25mm mounts are possible.
The mast elements are molded in ABS for greater robustness.
