Hasegawa 40011 - 1/450 Scale IJN Battleship Yamato Model Kit - Precision Replica  [HA-40011]

Hasegawa 1/450 Yamato - A Precise Naval Scale Replica

The Hasegawa 1/450 scale model of the IJN Battleship Yamato delivers a faithful miniature of one of the most recognisable warships from World War II. The kit captures the Yamato's imposing silhouette and offers well-defined parts for a detailed finished model.

Why Model the Yamato: Historical Interest and Hobby Appeal

The Yamato-class were among the largest and most heavily armed battleships ever built. The real vessel carried nine 46 cm main guns, the largest gun calibre fitted to any warship, and this kit reflects the ship's massive lines and complex superstructure for collectors and historians alike.

Building Process and Display Potential

This Hasegawa kit provides a rewarding build with precise moulding and clear component separation. It is aimed at modellers who enjoy accurate assembly and painting, and the finished model makes a strong display piece that highlights naval engineering of its era.
