{"product_id":"japanese-battleship-yamato-1","title":"Tamiya 1\/350 Japanese Battleship Yamato – WWII Flagship of the Imperial Japanese Navy Model Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003e\nThe Japanese battleship Yamato stands as one of the most iconic and ambitious warships ever built. Laid down in 1937 and commissioned in 1941, she showcased the peak of Japanese naval engineering with immense scale, heavy armor, and unmatched firepower. Her nine 46cm main guns—some of the largest naval guns ever mounted—were capable of reaching targets over 40 kilometers away. With a displacement of roughly 70,000 tons and concentrated central superstructure, the Yamato embodied both strength and technological sophistication.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis 1\/350 scale model kit recreates the Yamato with exceptional accuracy, capturing her imposing hull shape, powerful armament, and distinctive bulbous bow. The one-piece hull provides clean lines and a stable foundation, while finely engraved details bring the bridge, funnel, masts, and deck fittings to life. Movable turrets, rangefinders, and the stern crane add interactive depth to the finished display. Four reconnaissance floatplanes are included to complete the ship’s wartime appearance.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nWith its careful engineering and substantial size, this kit is a rewarding project for modelers who enjoy slowing down and appreciating each step—from assembling intricate superstructure components to painting the subtle tones of the deck and hull. When finished, the Yamato becomes a centerpiece model that reflects both its historic importance and the craftsmanship invested in the build.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50346169303287,"sku":"MH_TAM78030_HH","price":154.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/3324\/8759\/files\/9c7ef914cdd7edcdc54097ebb6c38528.jpg?v=1765382054","url":"https:\/\/checkout.miniaturehobbies.com\/products\/japanese-battleship-yamato-1","provider":"Miniature Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
