  • Great but not amazing
High quality kit. Good fitment and mold engineering, however lacks many smaller details for such an expensive piece, such as railings, some ladders, and many small intricate parts. Looks fantastic after adding a flyhawk or pontos kit. Will add photos when finished

  • A Beautiful Rendition
Just received the model and went thru the parts and instructions. No detail was left unattended, a simply beautiful replica. Can't wait to start building it, will fit well with my other Tamiya large scale ship models. Just wish Tamiya would expand their model offerings. For the attention to detail, worth every penny. ... show more

  • Best purchase ever
Excellent product! I’m still in process of assembling this kit but it’s so much fun. I think Tamiya is the best company in the market for plastic kits. All parts are nicely finished and there’s no problem with fitting them. I recommend the seller! They shipped my package straight from Japan and it came just one week later. Much sooner then I expected. Highly recommended for all hobbyists and people interested in military history. ... show more

  • Best kit ever
The Best model kit. Don't recomend to beginners. There were some damages in some part(broken) but I fixed them with super glue. You need make lots of holes, so if you have small drill that would be very helpful. I added LED in the search lights. If you buy 3mm LED lamp they will fit very well with kit. It took me about 10 days to complete this kit. I enjoyed it very much! ... show more

  • Great model and great detail!
Arrived from Japan early and in good condition! Just wish US makers would put this much effort and detail into their models. Yes it is expensive! However, just looking at the instructions and the detail I believe this is a good 1-2 month project for me. Just what I wanted. Thank you, Tamiya! Hope this helps! Have not told my wife how much I paid for this model so I am still living at home and have access to my workshop. JGW Athens, AL ... show more

  • Very pleased with every aspect of this purchase
This is what I believe to be Tamiya's best-ever plastic model. Considering the quality of Tamiya kits, that is saying a lot. They had an earlier version of the Yamato, but this kit is an entirely new kit (not a retool) based on new information recently unveiled. I am still researching the subject (aided by "The Battleship Yamato (Anatomy of the Ship"), and have yet to start construction. Initial impressions of the casting quality, packaging, and instructions, are very high. This was shipped directly to my home in Nova Scotia, and it arrived within ten days of ordering. Very pleased with every aspect of this purchase. ... show more

  • possibly the best 1/350 scale ship out there
possibly the best 1/350 scale ship out there, definitly tamiya's best ship ever. wouldn't buy if you want to make it into RC or anything, but it's level of detail is great for dioramas or just a simple "sit on the shelf" project. the booklets it comes with are also great, and shed alot of light that is hard to find on the ship! 10/10 ... show more
