Description
The Yamato Class Battleships provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of these famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeler through a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sisterships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This title focuses on the largest warships of the Second World War, specifically the Yamato class battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The book covers paint schemes and camouflage, featuring color profiles and highly-detailed line drawings and scale plans. It also reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. The book concludes with an extensive photographic survey of selected high-quality models in a variety of scales, followed by a section on research references - books, monographs, scale plans and relevant websites.
