Any chance of a closer look at the book? As in inside.

Ian can you be more specific there is 70 odd pages do you want history or reference? I'd like to keep the photo count reasonable

Brian, I'm not a floaty things modellers but that Yamato build is really enticing.
A very neat work.

Thanks for all your kind comments, and everyone is welcome.
Been doing some small stuff and putting lockers on the deck .............just finished for the day.


At least it's not "make 63"

Now photos of the whole book in detail would be a copyright problem. A mini review Type thing, what you,ou think is. Useful, relevant and will help a modeller.

Ok this is a small peak into the Yamato book I just got there is loads of history but I mainly got it for the reference colours/rigging and such.
There is a large section on models from 1/700 up to an impressive 1/10 which was professionally built anyway enjoy

Thanks Brian. Looks like a good source of reference.

Coming together really nicely Brian.

Wondering should I build the ships boats (of course I will) as they were all stored internally! main gun concussion would have destroyed them had they been on deck. So where would I display them? no reference to them at all in the manual apart from building them.
Having just looked at the 1/350 tamiya kit I found a place for 2 boats but there are 8

I had to look for the 1/10 scale Yamato model as I could not imagine such a model and this is the result


Sorry for stealing a post on your thread, Brian.

At over 200 million yen or £1,241,200.00 makes trumpeter seem cheap.
