## Overview

The TAMIYA TAM78030 is a highly detailed 1/350 scale plastic model kit of the Japanese battleship Yamato, featuring rotatable turrets and a display stand.

## Description

Product Description With many revolutionary features incorporated into her design, the Yamato was completed in December 1941, and met her final fate at the hands of American Navy carrier aircraft in the South China Sea while on a one way mission to Okinawa. This model features minor modifications to Tamiya"s previous Yamato replicas Items 78002 and 78014, and has her looking as she did just prior to departing for her final mission, in an exquisite 1/350 scale assembly kit display model. The Yamato"s massive imposing silhouette is accurately reproduced, and both the main gun turrets and secondary armament turrets can be rotated even after assembly. ??Requires paint and assembly. ??Comes with display stand. Safety Warning Small Parts, not for children

Review: Excellent model - This is typical of Tamiya, and excellent model nicely detailed and designed with virtually no extra flashing or nonsense to carve away. High quality, rigid plastic that fits together almost seamlessly leaving only a small amount of finishing work to clean joints. While the model is well detailed and contains the larger proportion of parts to make a fine display model of the Yamato, it does not include railings or other fine level detailing. As such, you will need to search for the excellent photo etch extras made by Eduard which add a whole new dimension to this model and really make it pop. Be aware though, that the photo etch parts add a complete new level of complexity to building this model. This is not a model for the faint hearted or somebody new to modelling. There are a lot of small and some very delicate parts that need care when removing from the sprue, care in fitting and a steady hand. Like many of the other 1/350th ships that Tamiya have released, patience is not a virtue, it's a requirement. You cannot hash through this kit and expect good results. Time, care and effort is required to really make it look good. I would suggest, to be honest, that a good airbrush is a requirement as well. The size of the hull, decking and some superstructure parts means that a brush is likely to leave artefacts behind such as striping or uneven paint layers. When finished - whether you opt for the photo etch parts or not - you have a beautiful scale model of the Yamato, something that can be proudly displayed on a shelf, in a perspex box or cabinet to show off with. Not cheap, but definitely worth it.
Review: Quality of mouldings - Really good model as tamiya generally are.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is actually required to make this model kit the way it is in the picture? I know I need all the tools and paint, but is anything else required?**
A: Hi Noah,It builds perfect out of the box but if you want to add some nice details I recommend replacing the barrels with turned brass or aluminum, and rails.  If you want to take it a step further - get a PE set as well and the wooden deck.It is time consuming (like any ship kit) but both Tamiya and Dragon kits are excellent design and engineered.Cheers!

**Q: Are the main artillery guns movable?**
A: Yes. you can configure the main guns to be movable

**Q: Is one can (100ml) of TS-66 enought for whole ship?**
A: Is enough.

**Q: What would be the measurements in cm?**
A: The 1/350 scale Tamiya is 75.1 cm in length and a beam of 11 cm.
