1:200 Glow2B 5058052000 YAMATO Battleship PREMIUM Plastic Model kit

Bring naval history to your collection with the 1:200 Glow2B 5058052000 Yamato Battleship PREMIUM. This extraordinary model kit recreates the Yamato, the largest and most heavily armed battleship ever built and the pride of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. Constructed in complete secrecy between 1937 and 1941 at the Kure Naval Arsenal, Yamato embodied Japanese naval engineering at its peak.

Commissioned in December 1941, Yamato carried the largest naval artillery ever mounted on a warship: 46 cm main guns capable of delivering devastating firepower. Considered “unsinkable” by her nation, Yamato met her fate during Operation Ten-Go on April 7, 1945. After enduring a relentless two-hour aerial onslaught by 386 carrier-based aircraft, she was struck by 13 torpedoes and 8 bombs, before capsizing and sinking in the East China Sea.

This PREMIUM 1:200 scale kit has been awarded Model of the Year 2023 in the Ships category by Modellfan Magazine. With its extraordinary detail and precision, it offers builders not only a challenging project but also the chance to recreate one of the most legendary battleships in history.
