1/350 Yamato Class
BB
Photo etch set by Gold Medal
models |
| Tamiya's 1/350 scale Yamato and Musashi are huge kits,
they are nicely detailed but their large scales make them ripe for super
detailing with Photo etch details. A monster Battleship should have a monster
PE set, Gold Medal Models has one such set. |
 |
| The instructions are pretty nice with plenty of 3D views to show you
which parts are replaced by the PE ones, and where all the details go.
A nice touch is the views showing the armament for this ship, with and
explanation of the correct 25 mm placement for both ships. |

-
Several different styles of railings including several custom formed ones
for the various parts
