I visited the Yamato museum in Kure, Japan, to photograph the 1/10 model on display there. The museum was built around the model, which is 86 feet long.

In addition to the 1/10 Yamato, the museum features an entire wall of 1/100 models of every IJN warship class from WWII, as well as a second gallery housing full-size artifacts from the war, including a fully-restored Mitsubishi A6M "Zero", and a type 93 "Long Lance" torpedo.

Bought of ebay part built .re worked all the stern and smoke stack areas. rc to go in soon ..moving turrets working lights etc..
If I was to do the model again I think I would plank the deck as Im not happy with the finish I have .....who knows if I get fedup I may have a go at re doing it later this yr

Kit Yamato which is motorised by Tamiya and is about 2 years old.

It took six months to build and convert to R.C. power for NiCad batteries.
