Are you sure? Jim Gordon did a fine build of this kit over at Steel Navy http://www.steelnavy.com/Yamato%20JG.htm, but according to him, "... instructions appear to have been written and drawn by a high school dropout".

From the article: "In retrospect, maybe I should have deep-sixed this beast and gone on to something more satisfying. But I hated wasting all that effort, and she wasn't looking all that bad. It would be overstating things to say that I was growing fond of my Yamato. My feelings were more akin to acceptance, sort of like being trapped in a bad marriage one hopes will eventually become tolerable".

Take a look at his article, and have fun with it!

I did. I wrote him as well but his account is no longer active.
It is a lot of large sprues with many many parts. I could post pics.
