After a year and a half I finely finished this Tamiya 1/350 IJN Battleship Yamato. This was a on and off project . So many things can get in your way when one is working on a model like this. And it realy feels good to finely finish it! I have always been in awe of this, the largest Battleship in the world. Not only was it big, but also very streamlined and gracefull ! A beauty in the eye of the beholder.
Please feel free to comment, here are the pic's.
Best regards,
Garry
