hello everyone i have seen a wooden deck for this model but like a fool didnt make a note of where i saw it has anyone seen it as i might get it for my kit many thanks john

you can pretty much google it and find one. they are all over ebay and lucky model

Pay close attention to what kit it is for. There are 2 Tamiya 1/350 Yamato out there the old kit from the 70's/80's era and one that came out last year all corrected and updated

hi steve thanks mate its the new one also have found 2 or 3 different deck manufacturers but thanks for advice

Hello John.

That deck is readily available on Ebay from many sources. I would recommend either the Artwox, MK1 and Pontos all make lovely decks. You can also get the decks as part of upgrade sets that include PE parts as well.

I have not used mine yet but the Yamato is lurking in the stash. The Pontos set includes dry transfer chrysanthemum Crests and other deck fittings and is a fair bit cheaper than other decks.

MK1 Designs has released a Lite version of their full Yamato set that has less PE but still has all the railings and a wooden deck.

Cheers
Warren

I got the Pontos #35029WD1 for mine ...seems it was reasonably priced and it looks real good slightly weathered..for railings I got a generic large IJN battleship set...The tamiya railings are posts you mount individually then sting wire btwn them
