Although it's a great kit I expected a bit more knowing it's Tamiya. There are some horrendous gaps between the different hull plates. But other than that great engineering indeed, just not top notch in my humble opinion :P
Tamiya make the very best plastic models in the world. Period. I have built a number of their products and their quality is of the best quality. Highly recommended.
What glue do you use? I swear the poles and stuff never stay upright whenever I build ships. Built an Arizona way back and it collapsed. Rip nice build though lives the video!
Most model shops carry reasonably good model kit glues. I use various types from Tamiya, they are pretty good. Make sure you ventilate your room though. As with metal photo etch parts - super glue with accelerator.

I want to remember the extreme sacrifice of the YAMATO with these words "I am one with the Yamato, however, once in the water, I could instinctively swim and thus survive: so take this rope and tie me to the binnacle. This is my last request and it's an order!" (Vessel Captain Kosaku Aruga addressing his second in command, Vessel Captain Jiro Nomura).
How hard was the copper railing to work with ? Planning to get the copper rails for my Yamato as well. And also how to you paint her ones along the side of the deck? Do you use a brush ?
Bardock SSJ3 It’s not very hard. Just needs a lot (and I mean a lot) of patience. I masked the surrounding rest and spray painted the railing at the beginning of the project, which I regretted cos many were damaged accidentally as the project proceeded.
Jeff P huh that gotta suck. I did broke 3 drills when doing my Vangaurd model. Don’t think I wanna break another drill anytime soon. But do you think I should add the railings before I add any of the super structure as instructed in the manual or should I add the railings after the model is done ? Also about painting...I am also thinking of painting the rails before applying, should I just paint the coil of copper first before attaching them to the photoetch handles ?
Hi Bardock, it would be tough to paint the copper and then threading it through the rail bars, as the thickness of the copper wire will increase.. Not to mention that you’ll need a good metal primer to make sure no paint would be chipped off during the process. What I did was installing them fully on the ship, and then continue with the primer and the proper paint.
If you’d like to try the tamiya railings like mine, then you’d need lots and lots of patience drilling the thousand of holes. And standby a few 0.3mm drill bits cos you will break a few, they are not cheap though.
I used the Tamiya rattle can - IJN gray (Kure Arsenal) TS-66 since it was built in Kure shipyard. You can find the equivalent of Lacquer paint or Acrylic
Hi, great built! I'm ordering the same kit and planning my built. For the railings, what sequence would you suggest in hindsight? Do them near last (so you don't break them), glue, then mask the deck, prime and spray paint?
I made the mistake of completing the railings in the early stage because I wanted to spray paint the hull and the railing together at the early stage. Towards the second half of the building, I damaged lots of the railings. The general sequence is to built from inside towards outside. And bottom towards the top. Hence the railings should be at the end.
I have the standard 350 scale model of the Yamato, and this is much more detailed. But I do not like that the hull is in two pieces. I read that it is not easy to glue them together without sanding first. I do not know why they could not have made it one piece hull.
John Gialanella jr Yes, big gap to fill up after you’ve joined the hull! But I enjoyed a challenging model. I understand this premium edition is quite reminiscent to the real Contruction steps of the vessel. At least the turrets and some parts of the hulk.
Pixelated Milky It is soft and folded down for easy shipping. You have to trim it’s height and fold up to make into a display case. Not as solid as acrylic casing. Only as an alternative.
Can anyone tell the part number of this kit. It seems that there are more that one "premium edititon" of this ship, from Tamiya, and they have quite a pricedifference.
Peter, the model number is 78025. The following link gives a good follow up on the editions www.scalemates.com/kits/tamiya-78016-ijn-battleship-musashi--165491
Very nice model. Can you please tell me its exact length and its height from the base to the deck? Also, do you have any photos from below? I want to see how it is from the below as I'm making a model of this shape on my own.
Beautiful music, to accompany a beautiful battleship, wonderful. I own Musashi in this scale from Tamiya, and plan to convert her as she was originally configured in 1942. Great job in building a legend.
Adrian-Robert Sava Hello, many local model shops carry this quite popular model. I bought my other kits from here : www.hlj.com/1-350-scale-ijn-yamato-tam78025
I just purchased an older version of this kit including the motorization accessories. I was hoping to find some instructive value in your video. Unfortunately unless you're an advanced modeler this video is kind of a "cool look what I did" video. I'm not hating on you. Just wish it was more. Nice work, carry on.
Hi I really like your video and model ships! May I ask what you used and how you display them on the wall at 2:43? I would like to do the same but I am not sure what you used or how you attached it to the wall. Thank you!
I bought those transparent name stands (made of acrylic) from stationary shop and secure it onto the wall with screws (although double side tapes might work but I’d rather not risk it). You can make any platform with any materials though. The biggest issue with this way of display is dust - somehow they gets into everywhere, especially on your rigging, which is quite troublesome to clean.
I spend half to an hour a day when I work on it. Sometimes with breaks in between - all in all I took about 3 months to complete. The most time consuming part is drilling the thousands of 0.3mm holes and inserting the handrail stanchions. I broke a few 0.3mm drills and had to wait to buy a replacement.
You can buy the handrail stanchion set from Tamiya. It’s specially made for Yamato. But it is very very very time consuming. You have to drill the thousands of 0.3mm holes, then Super glue them in, and run the wire through after.
That separate front Hull joint is among the most nightmarish modelling experiences of my life... It runs across plates near a lot of details, but the worst part is that it is the apex of an irregular compound curve, instead of being in a nearby flatter area... And none of the curves match, vertically or horizontally... Given a shaving light angle, the joint will always show up short of re-plating the entire thing... Or erasing the plating completely... Because of the tiny scale, any replating is really quite difficult or impractical.
elkysunnykuri I know! I threw the sprue away when the chrysanthemum crest was still on it thinking it was empty!! It was so tiny. When I realised it was already many weeks away and the bin has been cleared. Till this day I still knock my head about this silly mistake. I always put on the chrysanthemum crest on the ship as the last thing to do, it’s like really christening the ships.
I know right ?! I threw away the “completely used” spruce without realising the tiny chrysanthemum was still attached to it. By the time I realised it the garbage truck was already gone.
Yaswanth Vedula - they are all 1/350 scale. On top is Nagato, to the right is Mogami and below is Shokaku. Check out the other 350 scale cruiser (Yukikaze) I just completed and placed side by side to Yamato, this demonstrates the gigantic size of Yamato th-cam.com/video/d1Wb4QVuqCE/w-d-xo.html
Cheer for mounting the Yamato 78025. It makes me want to do it even more.
Thanks. This is a very satisfying project given the fit of this Tamiya is top notch and the beautiful instructions and packaging. Very high quality
Although it's a great kit I expected a bit more knowing it's Tamiya. There are some horrendous gaps between the different hull plates. But other than that great engineering indeed, just not top notch in my humble opinion :P

I'm Yeah
Well worth it. Good choice.
Well done!
They should 3D print a full-size 1:1 Tamiya Yamato in a drydock.
Sounds like a great idea!
Imagine that ..it would be insane
Beautiful model and excellent build

Thanks. Not my best effort though. This was my earlier work.
Great model kit i built 1 is Musashi and yamato same kit i use the upgrade kit for musashi
Very nicely done. Case is also sweet. Am in the middle of building same ship.
Good luck to your work. Enjoy!
Brilliant
Nice
GLADSTREAM Thanks!
Beautiful result!
Great build, what it height from the point to the highest it for a case I have? thank you
You did a very nice job
Thanks for the kind comments. That was my early work. Would have done better and intending to build this again some day.
@@JeffPKamenRider I am going to revisit this kit too, I last built it around 1987
It’s been a LONG time then. I can guarantee that you will enjoy this Tamiya premium edition tremendously.
Вот это я понимаю, настоящий хозяин морей... Великолепный бронированый гигант. Автору респект и уважение
Yes. A beautiful and mighty ship it is !
hello! amazinng!! very good! I build Yamato tamiya 1/350 in last year.
could show me your photos.
thanks for your great video i cant wait to start .

The YAMATO easily stands out as an icon in the WWII battleship era.

Just bought this for myself and am looking forward to putting it together, been a while:)
Enjoy it. You have a great time building it.
Excellent build. Threading those photo-etched railings looked incredibly difficult. Awesome Job!!!

Made Dharmadetta heh too late. I am already done with my Yamato. But yeah what I did was similar. Attach all the railings, the spray paint it.
Really enjoyed this video Jeff!! Have replayed it countless times whilst building my own. Took me two years to finish mine 😅
Made Dharmadetta
The Covid-19 lockdown definitely has given us excuses to stay at home to finish them!
Do you have any advice/ tips for putting in the railings?
If you’d like to try the tamiya railings like mine, then you’d need lots and lots of patience drilling the thousand of holes. And standby a few 0.3mm drill bits cos you will break a few, they are not cheap though.
Are you a member of the BB8 Builders group? I have built the B9 from Lost In Space, Robby, and current doing an R2 all full scale.
Nice robot projects, I love these. Am not with the BB8 group though
I’m working on mine right now, but can’t seem to find the color for it, what colors did you use for the gray and the hull red?
I used the Tamiya rattle can - IJN gray (Kure Arsenal) TS-66 since it was built in Kure shipyard. You can find the equivalent of Lacquer paint or Acrylic
Volhistory&Research
As with the red, I used the dull red rattle can, or hull red acrylic. All are Tamiya
What number of gray paint did you use to paint the hull?
Tamiya Kure Arsenal grey - I used the rattle can TS-66
For the red, I used Tamiya either the rattle can hull red TS-33, or Hull red XF-9

Hi Jeff. How did you elevate the angle of the second turret to clear the railings on the first turret?
Beautiful music, to accompany a beautiful battleship, wonderful.
I own Musashi in this scale from Tamiya, and plan to convert her as she was originally configured in 1942.
Great job in building a legend.
