IJN YAMATO - 1/350 by Tamiya (New Tool)
+ photo etched parts by Eduard (railings)

The biggest battleship of the Japanese Navy. The IJN YAMATO in scale 1/350 as "new tooled" version by Tamiya.

It is built mostly oob, plus photo etched parts by Eduard (railins), replacement parts for some guns, a wooden deck and other small stuff.
The painting is done with Lifecolor colours, the weathering made with oil colors. The rigging is made with EZ-Line.

And here we go ...

Michael,

Beautifully done Yamato, sir! I especialy liked the subtle color variations on the underwater hull colors. The old monster never looked so good!
