Dear Nigel, Another ship review, all of which was worth looking at. I took a look at a website and these models are priced very well! With the extras? What a deal!! Nicely presented as ever! Regards, Z
One more wonderful kit🤩 I built the old mold Tamiya and it was a great kit, the only setback was that there was no hull plates, (relatively easy fix with spaced masking tape and multiple layers of primer). I really dislike Tamiya new tool with the hull cut in the middle🤮. This RFM Yamato engineering looks very similar to the old Tamiya with great details on the hull, and P.E. is a must on this, well, all ships actually).👋🏻
If i was well off , i would buy this kit . It would be the only ship kit i would build but the finesse of detail takes it far , far beyond any ship kit I've seen before . No longer clumpy detail due to moulding constraints of the past . Those kits really are spectacular Nigel . I hope your enjoying having a puppy again . Thanks for the review's. M
Really enjoyed this review Nigel, thank you. What a bargain of a kit and a must for the stash. I would like to get the carrier you reviewed first and I will put this on my wish list for the future. Thanks again.
Extremely impressive kit stash Nigel but I find your quality of your kits are much better than mine. Do you ever worry that you will have the time to finish your kits. I know I will never finish all of mine. I have expressed to my children my wish that my unbuilt kits go to a local VA hospital. 95% of the built kits will go into the trash. But then again at that point of my life, who cares.
Can't find this version on the Tiger Hobbies site, only the Deluxe and the Hell in the Pacific version. Want to place this on pre order or register for stock notification.
yes the Tamiya version is basically junk...........it's totally and utterly annoying, it's much worse than Nigel describes........HA HA..........but if you hate PE and you're really bad at it, avoid like this like the plague...... i can only do PE on tanks, aircraft etc.... but this kills me, mine is 1:500 but it still shows that you've left it off...... i'm a bit ashamed of failing but it should still look very impressive in the diorama......... i might try and put the hull railings on later on........ i can't even cut remove the PE from the sheet without it warping, so i'm really bad at it.............. it is odd that Tamiya screwed this up SO BADLY........because their RC trucks are brilliant.....this is really weird, must be kit from the Twilight Zone.............. yes that Border hull looks dreadful in his video but nothing like as bad as the tamiya...................... great video as always mate; you're the main man............... no point me tackling this without being able to do the PE............ so the key is if you hate PE keep your scale small, but unfortunately it'll still show i'm afraid.
Moore's Law in Yamato plastic model kits here - great review!!!
Went and watched a review of the deluxe kit !!!!!! Wow all the resin and pe !!!!!

Completely agree. That kit would make a great first ship model for me too.

Hello Nigel.

Tiger Hobbies don't do pre order afaik? I'll ask Gary to put it up for notification.
A pre Dottie or just keeping her out of the way?
Pre Dottie, part 2 will be with Dottie.
@NigelsModellingBench 👍 look forward to it
