## Description

This 1:350 scale Yamato model features over 160 intricate details. The high-quality construction with separately cast components offers an engaging building experience.

Review: Impressive!. - Over engineered. But having said that, it,s the best fitting kit I have ever experienced, and I have had quite a few kits. Even parts where you would expect a little sanding , clicked into position perfectly. A pleasure to build. The instructions and drawings were another matter. Confusing and inadequate to say the least. But all in all a cracking good kit. Deserves 5 stars.
Review: A Big detailed kit; a big detailed price - This kit is expensive as hell but worth every penny; It is detailed through and through and the Photo etch parts included give it that extra kick which does this; the queen of battleships justice. She is a monster of a build though; time an effort certainly required!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I've seen this same product online for Â£70. However, this one is labelled 'premium'. What's the difference, please?**
A: The Battleship Yamato has two kinds, "No.25" and "No.30".The labelled 'premium' is "No.25". "No.25" is a Flagship Model and the detailed structure which had not been reproduced until then was perfectly reproduced.Therefore the price was getting expensive.So "No.30" was renewed as a "plastic model of Battleship Yamato" which is affordable price."No.25" was launched in 04/12/2011."No.30" was launched in 30/03/2013.

**Q: Does the premium version include the deck sheets, metal gun parts and deck railings?**
A: hello.Tamiya yamato kit nr 78025 is a very nice kit but wooden deck detail,metal gun barrels and photoetched railings are not included but some transparent windows and photoetched parts and wire and stanchion railings are inciuded.best regards Arve

**Q: does the model need to be glued together?**
A: Yes it needs to be glued and to be painted among other things. This is not a die cast kit. If you are seeking for a die cast kit you may look at FORCES OF VALOR Kit No 86014, but in 1/700 scale.

**Q: I'm in the process, but before goes wrong, do you know if decals are water decals?**
A: Yes but use one of the Specialist decal applying liquidsCosting around 5 US dollars they soften the decal so it grips betterJoin my face book pagehttps://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=1%3A350%20tamiya%20premium%20yamato%20builds And add information on how yo are progressing
