{"product_id":"japanese-battleship-yamato","title":"Tamiya 1\/350 Japanese Battleship Yamato – WWII Capital Ship Model Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003e\nTamiya’s 1\/350 scale Yamato captures one of the most iconic battleships of WWII with extraordinary precision and engineering. Based on the latest historical research, this model reproduces the ship as she appeared on her final mission, complete with increased anti-aircraft armament, refined structural details, and components that have never before been represented in kit form.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nMeasuring 752mm in length, the Yamato offers a substantial project for modelers who enjoy slow, deliberate craftsmanship. Over 90% of the deck components are molded as separate parts to encourage detailed painting and weathering, and the kit includes options for either full-hull or waterline display. Main gun turrets rotate freely, with interior structures modeled below deck level, and interchangeable poly-cap mounted barrel elevations allow you to customize the ship’s final pose.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nSecondary armament and AA gun systems are also movable, and elastomer parts are used thoughtfully to depict canvas covers and sandbags with natural realism. Photo-etched parts for ladders, radars, and cranes enhance the fine detail, while ABS mast components provide durability where it matters most. Metal propeller shafts and poly-cap mounted rudder parts add further substance to the build.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nA 32-page full-color reference booklet is included, offering background on the Yamato, explanations of key features, and historical context for builders who enjoy deepening their understanding while they work.
