About product

The battleship Musashi 1944 in 1:700 scale

A plastic kit of the second battleship of the Yamato class, captured in her state of 1944. The designation of the variant in the name of the item refers to a Japanese operation of the close of the same year and at the same time to the version with a full hull, in which the underwater part of the vessel is shaped as well.

The Yamato and her sister

The Musashi was among the largest battleships ever to put to sea. Nine guns of 460 millimeters caliber in three triple turrets gave these vessels the heaviest salvo of their day, and yet the main armament was used against surface targets only rarely. In 1944 the ship had heavily reinforced antiaircraft defense. The end of the Musashi came in October of the same year in the Sibuyan Sea after repeated air attacks.

The procedure with large battleships

A long hull is sensitive to sagging, so after gluing let it cure thoroughly on a flat board. The wooden areas of the deck come out well when you set them off against the gray steel. The barrels of the large guns deserve extra time; remove any burr at the muzzle with a sharp drill. Paint the antiaircraft positions before fitting them, because once they are glued on the brush will not reach them.

Intended for

  • Anyone interested in the largest battleships of the Second World War
  • Modelers who want to add a sister vessel to the ship
  • Collections with vessels seated on a base
  • Builders looking for the variant without added photo-etch

You receive the model in a knocked-down state and without paints. Glues, varnishes and bases are acquired separately, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The subject measured over two hundred and sixty meters, which in 1:700 scale corresponds to a length of around thirty-eight centimeters. Count on a sufficiently wide display case.

Yes. The name here gives the basic version, while the name of the variant with photo-etch additionally mentions etched parts. The extent of those additions cannot be determined from the name.

It is the Japanese plan for the defense of the Philippines of the autumn of 1944. The model therefore captures the ship in her last deployment.
