#78025

Tamiya is proud to announce the release of an all-new 1/350 scale
model of the Japanese Battleship Yamato as she appeared in her
last and final sortie to Okinawa. The original was a motorized
kit that was released in 1979 and followed up by a non-motorized
version in 2005. The latest model version is based on the latest
research information that Tamiya’s model makers have been able to
find. Items such as the hull and superstructure have been given
new details based on new information gathered and new information
discovered about the Yamato.
