1:10 Scale Yamato
1:10 Scale Yamato
You should have seen the box this came in!!!!!
Actually this is a scale model of the Yamato on display at a Kure Yamato naval museum in Japan. I stumbled across these images while searching for something completely different.
At 1/10 scale, that makes the model roughly 86feet long and 12 feet wide at the beam.
Nearby are much smaller models of the carrier Akagi and battleship Nagato.
I am not sure but I believe this is the model used in the 2005 Japanese film production of "Otoko-tachi no Yamato" (roughly "Men of the Yamato.") The film is available on DVD.
Edit: You can see even more images on this page: http://album.nikon-image.com/nk/NK_Imag ... 7313&pos=1

Re: 1:10 Scale Yamato
Dear KH,
These are amazing photos. I would have suggested going with 1/6 scale,then they could have had ready made figures being G.I. Joes.

Re: 1:10 Scale Yamato
As you can most easily notice in the last Yamato photo (3d from last), the ship had a definite shaped bulge at the bottom edge of the bow. This was an early example of successful flow testing. That bulge created a smoother flow of water (less resistance) as the ship moved forward. It supposedly reduced fuel consumption by about 6% and also increased maximum speed slightly. I assume Musashi had a similar bow. Beautiful ships and intelligent design. Such a pity they were created only for destruction.

Neat. It would take a big firecracker to sink that.
I wasn't too nice to my models after I built them.
