30 Japanese Navy Battleship Yamato Plastic Kit 78030. 30 Japanese Navy Battleship Yamato Plastic Model 78030 The legendary giant battleship Yamato, which showed the world the high level of Japanese shipbuilding technology, was laid down at the Kure Naval Arsenal in November 1937 and completed in December 1941. Its huge body had a waterline length of 256m, a maximum width of 38.9m, and a displacement of about 70,000 tons, and was equipped with nine huge 46cm caliber cannons. The main 46cm cannons had a maximum range of 41km, and were powerful enough to penetrate 43cm thick armor plate at a distance of 30km. On the other hand, in terms of defense, it used about 21,000 tons of defensive armor plate, which is 30% of the standard displacement. The method adopted achieved high defensive power. Furthermore, the bulbous bow at the bow is a distinctive feature of the underwater shape. This technology has been passed down as a legacy to the Japanese shipbuilding industry after the war. Yamato participated in the Battle of Midway and the Battle of Leyte Gulf, and reigned supreme in the Pacific Ocean, but on April 7, 1945, while heading to Okinawa as a maritime special attack unit for Operation Ten-Ichi-Go (Operation Kikusui), it was attacked by more than 300 US Navy aircraft and finally sank into the sea. Total length = 751.5 mm. The photo shows the kit assembled and painted. Model Specifications: A plastic model assembly kit of the Japanese Navy battleship Yamato from World War II.
