The Yamato was the lead ship of her class of battleships built for the Imperial Japanese Navy shortly before World War II. The Yamato, along with her sister ship Musashi, were among the largest battleships to ever see service with any combatant at 72,000 tons fully loaded. This is the first recent tool kit of this ship since the 1968 radio control kit released by Japanese company Nichimo.

Its massive 46cm guns and turrets are replicated with a completely new mould, and 15 sheets of photo-etched parts are included, as are decals. Fine recessed panel lines and wooden deck are simulated in styrene.
