[NX-1] 1/700 IJN Battleship New Yamato (MAR NEW)

Experience the might of the Imperial Japanese Navy with the Fujimi 1/700 IJN Battleship New Yamato (MAR NEW) model kit, a meticulously crafted recreation of the legendary battleship. This kit captures the Yamato as it appeared in 1945, reflecting its enhanced anti-aircraft capabilities from that period.

This highly detailed plastic model features a hull split into left and right sections at the waterline, molded in a special gray color that accurately replicates the warship shade used at Kure Naval Arsenal. Builders will appreciate the precise recreation of the ship's outer hull electrical wiring, intricate porthole details, and the distinctive three-dimensional bulbous bow.

The main guns are engineered for both elevation and rotation, boasting slide-molded open barrels for exceptional precision. Secondary guns also feature rotatable turrets and an integrated structure. The bridge and chimney sections are carefully designed with slide molds, ensuring minimal seams and an authentic structural appearance. Additional elements such as the No. 22 radar, an expanded signal deck, and a detailed mast incorporating the No. 13 radar further enhance historical accuracy.

As a snap-fit kit, assembly is straightforward and does not require adhesive, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced modelers. The kit boasts crisp molding with good molded-in detail, including weld beads on the turret, and minimal to no flash on parts.
