Completed model is approximately 29.6" long. Also includes color painting guide, printed paper flag sheet and decals for hull markings and aircraft insignia.

Review: Great model and great detail! - Arrived from Japan early and in good condition! Just wish US makers would put this much effort and detail into their models. Yes it is expensive! However, just looking at the instructions and the detail I believe this is a good 1-2 month project for me. Just what I wanted. Thank you, Tamiya! Hope this helps! Have not told my wife how much I paid for this model so I am still living at home and have access to my workshop. JGW Athens, AL
Review: Best purchase ever - Excellent product! I’m still in process of assembling this kit but it’s so much fun. I think Tamiya is the best company in the market for plastic kits. All parts are nicely finished and there’s no problem with fitting them. I recommend the seller! They shipped my package straight from Japan and it came just one week later. Much sooner then I expected. Highly recommended for all hobbyists and people interested in military history.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: english instrutions?**
A: Yes, the model comes with English instructions, even though Amazon's abstract indicates Japanese only.  In fact, Tamiya's models come with multi-lingual instructions.  If something has changed, then you can go to the Tamiya America website and download a PDF version of the instructions.  By the way, it is an absolutely beautiful model.  As a side-note, the Gold Medal model photo-etched parts for the original Tamiya Yamato will fit in about 90% of the cases.  Combine these with the extensive set of PE parts Tamiya provides with this kit, and you will have a stunning model.

**Q: this may be stupid, and i'm sure i know what it is, but is this tamiya item number 78025?**
A: Yes, that is the correct item number.  Not a stupid question at all.  This is the second Yamato Tamiya has produced in 1/350 scale, and is significantly different (and more accurate) than their first edition.

**Q: Is there any basic colour? Or totaly all plastic gray colour?**
A: The entire ship is moulded in neutral gray plastic.  If you are building a serious musem-quality model, most of the ship (from waterline to the top of the superstructure) will be IJN (Imperial Japanese Navy) gray, which is quite dark.  If you intend to build this as a showcase model on pedestals, then you will need dark red for all of the hull below the waterline.  There are other colours involved:tan and linoleum (decks), black (boot line, gun and deck details), white (admiral's launch, whalers, etc), plus several other colours for small details.  If you build it as is and leave it in its neutral-gray colour, I will guess that you will be disatisfied with the result.

**Q: Does it come with the tools? Such as glue, pliers and scissor?**
A: There are no tools, or glue, or paint.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Beautiful Rendition
*by D***D on November 30, 2022*

Just received the model and went thru the parts and instructions. No detail was left unattended, a simply beautiful replica. Can't wait to start building it, will fit well with my other Tamiya large scale ship models. Just wish Tamiya would expand their model offerings. For the attention to detail, worth every penny.
