Hey all,

Forgive me for asking a simple question, and keep in mind I'm an old army guy but what ship is this? Also where is this located at? It's a huge model and my wife asked me if it was the model (type not size....lol) I'm making right now.

That's the Japanese battleship Yamato. CReading can correct me but I believe this was a miniture built for the Japanese move Men of the Yamato.

Actually, I found this photo on Russian site and thus have/had no idea what is was or where it is.
Can' t read Russian and know less about ships that I care to admit!

The model can be found at the Yamato Museum.
The Yamato Museum is located a short walk from JR Kure Station in Kure City, Japan. Admission is 500 yen for adults.
