Tamiya 78026 1/350 WWII Japanese Navy Utility Boat Set - Kit Overview

This kit contains 28 individual utility boats representing several types used by the Japanese Navy in World War II. The parts include finely reproduced plastic components along with photo-etched pieces to reproduce deck fittings and other small equipment for enhanced realism.

Complement Your Yamato and Other 1/350 Ships

Made to work alongside Tamiya's 1/350 Yamato and similar WWII Japanese warship kits, this set helps populate decks and harbours with accurate support craft. Builders who value correct scale proportions and detailed deck hardware will find this a useful addition to dioramas and display models.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/350
  • Material: Plastic with photo-etched parts
  • Includes: 28 ships of 11 different types
  • Compatibility: Suitable for 1/350 scale WWII Japanese Navy ship models

Will these boats fit the 1/350 Yamato as shown?

Yes, the scale and proportions are intended to match 1/350 Yamato models and other 1/350 Japanese warships so they sit correctly on decks and in davits.

Are the photo-etched parts difficult to work with?

Photo-etched pieces add crisp detail but require patience and basic etch-handling skills. Use fine tweezers, a sharp hobby knife and CA or super glue for best results.

What paints and adhesives are recommended?

Standard plastic model cement works for the main parts; thin CA is good for photo-etched metal. Acrylic or enamel ship colors matched to WWII Japanese schemes will give authentic finishes.
