The Ship Model Forum

got to wonder were do you see the AA on the rear and the stern on this pic (too blurry to me)

(nice gallery ,pretty useful for documentation)
May I use tamiya yamato/musashi for the n°797 ship or some modernized A-140 F? (not planning on ordering them right now though,1:350 scale is still too big for me),also the number of torpedo hit being taken by yamato seem to varry a lot too (from 22 to 35 at least) and what do you think of the updated anatomy of the ship with the musashi (the AA placement for the 1945 yamato is still different)

founded those 3d view of ten ichi go yamato http://3dhistory.de/wordpress/3d-models ... n-ichi-go/

It helps if you squint your eyes while viewing the photo

Anyway, you look for the shadows - I have pointed out the 4 rear flight deck AA mounts with red arrows. (The two black dots in the middle are the two mounts on top of turret #3).

thanks and what about the one after the turret and the one on the secondary foward turret?

I legit don't see AA in the red circle zone but evryone put some here (even the innacurate one)

where does the rocket launcher of the musashi come from ?

I'm thinking of taking a commission musashi for an A140 F5 model (I don't the difference in dimension would be that important at a 1/700 scale)

Got to wonder were does the 3 25 in the 15,5cm triple turret zone come from

For a 1/700 accurate yamato,I'm going to go with the pit road kit and the new tool tamiya cost way too much for me

I have the pascal colombier book on the 3 yamato,they got all thing right but not the AA of the ten ichi go yamato ,I sended to caraktere this post and asked them for an update regarding the AA,I like A10 table and the 3d view of both musashi and shinano (presented achievied in both the book and the LOS! magazine).

Note: the book is in french and out of stock,I got mine because I asked one of the autor from caraktere and he accepted to offer his book to me (lucky me!)

what is the green zone?

rocket launcher confirmed on musashi,the survivor explain why they weren't operationnal https://worldofwarships.asia/en/news/hi ... musashi_3/

thebunkerparodie: Thanks for the link to the survivor interview. Very interesting article.

why did the new anatomy of the ship labeled this photo as musashi and not yamato? http://www.battleshipyamato.com/index.a ... 4?i=86&s=1

Because they made a mistake.

Believe me, over the years I have seen many Yamato photos mislabeled as Musashi (and vice-versa). This photo, however, there is no doubt about. I have never (until now) heard of it being mislabeled as Musashi. It is Yamato.

Also,the new anatomy of he ship leyte yamato doesn't have the n°1 turret black (from the photo it's what I think the coor of the turret was).
Also ,I'm thinking of doing an preliminary A140 design using the tamiya musashi (the old tool one)

would the external difference between n°110/111 and the original yamato be seen at a 1/700 scale (beside the AA)? I'm planning to use the kii (A150) from fujjimi for a n°110 with it's turret replaced by the 510mm one

founded some A140 take and I got to wonder why yamato didn't have rocket launcher http://www.shipbucket.com/forums/viewto ... lit=yamato

what did yamato crane looked like during ten ichi go?

how good is this book? "Build the Musashi! The Birth and Death of the World's Greatest Battleship"

isn't the cover photo a yamato one?

The crane tower (which did was not required for the operation of the crane) was removed to allow for a greater range of fire for Turret #3).
