1/350 Yamato Part 1
It all starts with this. Tamiya classic (early 70’s) kit of the IJN Battleship Yamato in 1/350 scale. The members of IPMS London gifted this to me as a challenge build as I am always screwing up the name of the battleship with Admiral Yamamoto. This one was partially started with the hull being painted and the sprues sorted The instructions also had colour call outs written on them. Big ship kits like this particuarly older ones will often prompt the builder to add all sorts of phone etch after market and other accesscories. In this case given my love of photo etch and the nature of the build I am only going to get a wood deck which was purchased from Ali-express. The detail is quite amazing. Next time – we start assembly.
