Aoshima 1/700 Ship (Full-Hull Model) Imperial Japanese Navy Battleship Yamashiro 1944 (w/Metal Barrel)

Aoshima's Full Hull Series Finally Gets a Long-Awaited Renewal!! We've newly researched and designed the outfitting parts. By incorporating numerous sliding mechanisms into the molds, we've accurately reproduced the intricate details of the 1/700 scale. We present the reborn, more precise 1/700 Ship (Full Hull Model) Series. ＜Newly Added Molds＞ The Yamashiro, the second ship of the Fus?-class battleships characterized by its distinctive large bridge, was completed in 1917 during World War I. After undergoing several modernization refits, it participated in the Pacific War. In the Battle of Leyte Gulf in 1944, it entered the Surigao Strait as part of Nishimura's Task Force. Alongside the Fus?, it engaged the U.S. fleet and was sunk. This kit accurately recreates the late-war Pacific War appearance, featuring significantly enhanced anti-aircraft armament, through a focused parts configuration that is simple and easy to assemble. Newly designed parts add various fittings, including densely placed anti-aircraft machine guns, high-angle guns, and aircraft catapults. 【Product Features】 ・Utilizes slide molds to achieve intricate and precise detailing!! ・Updated armament, focusing on anti-aircraft guns and machine guns!! ・Searchlight truss reproduced directly in plastic, eliminating the need for photo-etch parts!! ・Includes 12 metal gun barrels!!
