Wow!!!! You built this thing fast! Looks wonderful.

[Koppalakki]

Cheers everyone!

My deadline is still new years eve!

I'm gonna make it, or maybe 1st of January!

I'd still like to add a plane and some trolleys into the flight deck. Did she carry them at all on her final mission or were they just sent away in the morning before the battle?
They'd add some color and detail so would be nice to add a few!

I have seen so many models of Yamato, a lot of them excellent builds but yours is a really outstanding one. Your mastery of painting ang weathering is truly admirable and the end result is nothing short of sensational!

My hats off to you sir

Beautiful work.

Yamato retains at least one E13A1 until 0600 on April 7, when that plane is launched for air reconnaissance. So, you can include at least one.

Nice, thanks for the info! Now I can throw one Jake on the catapult or something!

Did the tower on the rear crane go at the end?

Did the tower on the rear crane go at the end?

Yes it was removed before Ten ichi Go.

[GewoonWouter]

That base looks more than decent and great work on the guns again!

[Koppalakki]

Getting closer!

And then there were none left!



Here's the lonely Jake that's gonna take a position on the catapult.





The only addition was that I removed the molded canopy and replaced it with a custom one made from PE ladders cut and fit for purpose.

Some small details still to be added and I'll try to get the finished pictures up tomorrow evening!

So stay tuned it's upto get finished!

Happy New Year 2017 to all!

This is the best example of the 1:350 Yamato new tool that I have ever seen!

I hope that Tamiya sees this!!!

[Goodwood]

Definitely the best Yamato I've ever seen!

[Greg lester]

Awesome reference for all us Yamato builders, especially the painting guide.

if i live to be a 100 i'll never reach this standard, words don't do this model justice.just superb

[wing_nut]

Most impressive. Impressive enough for a non-ship guy to go through 17 WIP pages and enjoy every photo.

[saldy]

Very good but the color of the board is correct?
