L'Arsenal releases a 1/200 scale Yamato 155mm Turret.


From her commissioning in 1941 to 16 January 1944, Yamato was equipped with four secondary 155mm triple turrets :
- Two on each side of the battleship, without tripod aerial mast.
- One on the ship stern with a small non rotating tripod aerial mast.
- One just behind the two front main 460mm turrets with a large non rotating aerial mast.
Barrels can be fitted with or without blast bags.

After her early January 1944 refit, Yamato lost her two side 155mm for more AA guns. Her equipment was:
- One 155mm triple turret on the ship axis aft with a small non rotating tripod aerial mast.
- One 155mm triple turret just behind the two front main 460mm turrets with a large non rotating aerial mast.
Barrels can be fitted with or without blast bags.

Includes resin part for 2 turrets, 6 brass guns and photo etch.

The 1/200 Larsenal Yamato 155mm Turret (x2) can be found at Frretime Hobbies for $25.95 US. ( LARAC20006 )

If you mean the Nichimo kit when you write "ancient" then this will certainly help (a lot) but more will be needed ..... / Robin
