- Before Trumpeter issued their 1/200 scale Yamato the only one on the market was the old Nichimo model.. And wan't one? Then be ready to give an arm and a leg on Evilbay..
Now allot of unboxings of the new Yamato are all over the net but finding one that gives you the old Nichimo one was harder.. So here is one for you.
Plus some after market goodies for the Nichimo set too...
I built this model several decades ago…and also made it into r/c..and also gave it a radar rotation and smoke from the stacks..I can agree that it was pretty basic compared to what we can buy now..but it was the best at the time.i still have mine now..and granted it is very basic..but even then it was hard to come by..and would not care to sell it now…we all learn a lot through time..but know all the hours put in…and it was a lot of fun…
I have the Nichimo kit. There are a few flaws.
1. the deck and the stern area do not fit properly.
2. The 46cm turrets that come with the kit are too narrow. both starboard and portside the panel that should fit the stern
3. both panels that are supposed to fit the portside and starboard portions of the stern do not fit properly.
There are 2 youtube videos that provide helpful tips . 1. Ebroins minatures and Amegraphy. They used box sealing tape to properly secure the deck to the hull. Fujimi has a after market kit for the turrets. When securing the panels to the stern they used epoxy and liquid putty. The hull also has mold lines which requires sanding and quite a bit of it. Good luck
If the molds still exist for this giant model, Nichimo should re-release it with a PE kit and some minor updates and price it under the current Trumpeter Yamato.
I bought this kit back in the early 80s, the production technology for the scale simply wasn't there at the time.
Hey, where did you buy the metal guns? Thanks
I did have an awkward question I wonder why the model company Fujimoto made the additional model kit parts
