Very well designed and detailed kit.
This is my 8th 1/350 ship model.This was a great kit to build, i originally thought it was a pain but there was operator error. This had to do with the forward deck fitment. There is a small, flat rail that is not meant to go under the deck, if you buy this kit, you will see a gradual slope to this rail, it is meant to create an inner rim around this part... only the forward deck. The rest of the kit was great, it is a very simple paint scheme so you can paint after almost total assembly. However, one paint color was a pain to locate, which i did not... IJN grey, used a Flat Dark Aircraft Grey to imitate, was close but can tell its not exactly correct. One thing i did not like about this model though, was that the main and secondary turrets... they are hollow and do not have a cover plate for the underside of the turrets, referring to the rear-inside portion of each turret that is still visible, so its a cheap design that does not completely close the turret. All together great kit, recommend to others, though its detailed, part-wise, it is not a bad ship to continue getting acquainted with 1/350 ship models.
The 2nd 'Yamato'-class battleship comes to life with this kit
This was my 2nd attempt at building a 1/350 model (1st was the 'Yamato'). While I wasn't as impressed as I was with the first one it was still a good build. This kit has the minute detailing of the Yamato. Like another reviewer I experienced some frustration with it but like that reviewer, it was due to operator error. This involved the placement of the antiaircraft guns on the sides of the ship. I had expected a similar layout to the 'Yamato' as they were the same class and was a little surprised to find such a difference. It took a while for me to figure that out but I eventually did and things looked good with it. I've had this kit for over 10 years and would build it again. Be prepared to usr a lot of paint & cement. Recommended.
Great Kit from Tamiya
Putting this kit together you will notice just how many anti-aircraft machine guns were onboard the ship.
