Greetings All, Razif here from Malaysia. :wave_1: Been building/collecting Perfect/Master Grade Gunpla...
Now I am planning to start model ship building and would like to challenge me self by getting the 1/350 Tamiya 78025 kit.
Knowing there's a lot of modellers out there been building this kit since it came out. One thing I notice that this was one of those ships the blueprint/pictures were mostly destroyed and Tamiya (Other Brands also) been updating since, and based on the 1999 exploration, ex crew and etc. It was said at that time (2012) 78025 was the most accurate version of Battle for Okinawa.
I didn't start building the kit yet, But started doing some research of the ship it self for a month now, Multiple forums (including here)/Bloggers/youtube/ and Final ship configuration done by modellers.
As Yamato and Musashi data were lost due to war, I felt that the correct configuration guide of list was not available in one place with a lot of questions need answering.
I hope by doing this may help me and those who want to build the Yamato 78025 kit as accurate as possible.
Lets start with Part 1. Any comments are welcome.
