About product

Eduard 1:450 Yamato - a photo-etched set

This set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard contains stainless steel photo-etch meant for improving the details of a plastic model of the battleship Yamato in 1:450 scale. It replaces and completes features that injection-molded plastic cannot capture at the corresponding fineness. In itself it is not a model of the ship; it is an accessory to a base kit.

The real subject

The Yamato was the flagship of the Imperial Japanese Navy and, together with her sister Musashi, the largest battleship ever built. Her main armament consisted of 460 millimeter guns, the largest ever deployed on a ship. She was sunk in April 1945 while sailing to Okinawa.

Use and tips

The etched parts are separated with a sharp knife on a firm surface and are glued as a rule with cyanoacrylate glue. Make the bends along the etched groove, ideally in a bending tool. Degrease the parts before varnishing. The set suits above all for refining the railings, the ladders, the radars and the superstructure.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want to raise the detail of a Yamato model above the level of what is in the box
  • More experienced builders with experience of working with photo-etch
  • Collectors of warships in 1:450 scale
  • Those who build a model for competitions and display cases

This is an accessory photo-etched set, not a kit. The plastic model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
