There is actually a 1/10 scale model of this ship in a Japanese war museum. Very impressive.
I've been to the Yamato Museum. Can confirm the 1/10 model is spectacular. A must visit for naval history buffs if you ever happen to visit Japan
There is a 10/1 model of it in a galaxy far far away.
They should keep releasing 1/72 parts and eventually you could have a full 1/72 ship
That would be nice to have something that big in my store.
@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters You would have to buy shop next door to have place for it ;)
Like Johnny Cash sang “One Piece at a Time” 😎
12 foot monster
@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters Put it on the roof. 😁
My favourite kit of this type is the Unreal Models _Scharnhorst's Walk-in Food Storage Refrigerator_ . So atmospheric, you can almost smell the bratwurts.
Andy is like the Bob Ross of the model world
The ladders and handrails show how massive the turret is in human terms !
Yes it is very large.
@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters That’s what she said...giggity
I am currently working on this kit. I think it's a great kit and am having a great time putting it together. I think this would actually be a great beginner level kit because there is a ton of basic modelling packed into this kit, but yet there's enough potential to keep a more experienced modeler entertained.
Oh man, that's awesome. The possibilities for super-detailing it and/or doing a cutaway are endless. Could also really benefit from 1/72 crew figures.
Agree, 3 or 4 figures at various places would really help give a sense of scale.
Super job
It was a magnificent battleship, nothing could compare to it. Great build Andy!
Wonderful details on the turret, Takom never seems to stop amazing us with there kits.
So a Bismarck turret is coming. I can see ones from HMS Hood, USS Missouri, HMS KGV, Scharnhorst, Vittorio Veneto., HMS Rodney, USS South Dakota.
Sign me up for the King George V :D
@@StickTheGlue Yes, the 4 Gun KGV class turret would be awesome. And a larger deck piece to include a superimposed 2 gun turret.
If they do an IOWA class, l hope it's one with the quad 40
@@raymondrosario9893 I think that's how they might get you to buy more than one (Yamato turret included). Off the basic turret first, then in a year or two, offer a variant that represents either a different turret, or a later war turret that had guns added.
@@raymondrosario9893 probably a 16 inch gun with a quad bofors on the top
FWIW, the iJN Yamato was one of two Yamato class battleships. Her sister ship, the IJN Musashi, was equally armed but was sunk about 6 months before the IJN Yamato.
While presenting an imposing appearance, Yamato and Musashi were massive, and ultimately ineffective, wastes of manpower and scarce resources. Instead Japan could potentially have build four more Soryu class carriers and eight Mogami class heavy cruisers. Operationally these could have been far more useful, and might have tipped the balance in the Coral Sea, Midway and other pivotal Pacific battles.
@@richardklug822 Hotel Yamato, she was nicknamed...
Yamato was never used anyways. It was mostly used for propaganda value.
@@shako4907 It used too much fuel to be of much use. And then toward the end of the war, Japan just lacked the fuel anyway.
yep. thats why it was mostly useless. the Hotel Yamato is an accurate, if a bit exaggrated, nickname
Wow I didn’t realize how huge just the gun turrets was alone. Big like my house. Unbelievably massive.
Awesome build and paint Andy
Really impressive !!!!you made my week Andy!!!
If but just for a moment Andy, I appreciate you
Great video!!!
Took a moment to appreciate the “theme” audio track. Well done!
Interesting how closely it resembles some traditional Irish "folk" music.
Yes the Yamato was a magnificent battleship. It should have had more armour plate on the side. It was singable. I wonder driver have found the resting place of the Yamato. Beautiful kit. 😷🤧🤒🇦🇺
I had a friend who got one of these. Took him two months to fully motorized the whole thing and add electronic sound effects. Pretty good to say the least.
Great build ! A couple of build points to mention. The position for the 14 side Joint Plates for the turret barbette are marked on the turret support ring with small scribed lines engraved on top. They do not say where in the instructions as you know ! Instead of using the monofilament for the railings I used .015 in.lead wire, a little tricky but you can create a great looking sag to them ! Great looking build, the colors were spot on ! Now for rest of the ship !
Rather than monofilament, I've used super-fine copper magnet wire for railing before. It's a little easier to get a nice "sag" in. 32 AWG wire-wrapping wire stripped also gives a nice effect. Whatever works best for you. Are there brass tampions with the Seal of the Imperial Japanese Navy for each barrel mussel for protection from sea air and sea spray included?
Some worthless trivia about the caliber of the guns of each countries battleships. It was due to the burning rate of the smokeless powder available to them. Our rifles were 16.1" due to a more advanced smokeless powder than the Japanese had access to, so they chose an 18.1" bore. This was one of the many things the Washington Naval Treaty prevented the export of the technology of making to the Japanese Gov't. from DuPont. The British were entrenched with using the 70-year out-of-date Cordite powder in capital guns (ones that used bags of powder rather than brass shells) with it's excessive smoke, muzzle-flash, limited velocity and range and shell weight, barrel erosion and 15.2" bore limit due to barrel pressure. The Germans used Swedish Dynamit-Noble powders (the most advanced on Earth) and used 15.2" rifles with higher velocities than anyone's, firing heavier shells higher and to longer ranges from superior Krupp steel rifles that were the most accurate. At the end of the War, the supply of Dynamit-Noble powder became a problem and Krupp steel and barrels became an issue of supply. Oil became a major problem for both Germany's and Japan's surface fleets. The Yamato left on her last sortie without the fuel to return to her home base. BTW, is there a good book on the order of fighting the Yamato? Could she fire full 9 gun salvos? Was her secondary armament in full director control? And what about her AA ? I know the Japanese didn't have Posit fuses on AA like we did. Curiosity worm in me...
Aaaah the sound of Andy’s opening intro music has started the day perfectly (not to mention the Japanese incidental music!).......What a beast! Wonder what a 1/35 scale one would look like 🤔.....Great talking point....thanks Andy!
If you're interested (or maybe you already know), the rods that support the gun barrel are called trunnions and the things that holds them in place are called capsquares. Or at least they are on 18th and 19th century naval guns . . . Turret looks really cool!
Fun fact: Yamato’s turret is the identical weight of the Fletcher class Destroyer and each shells weight as much as a car. Yeah, these turrets are heavy. And this man able to carry it.
Holy crap......watching this at 2am ...Your shop phone ringer sounds just like my home phone...Scared the Crap out of me lol
My first thought was that these are totally pointless, but yes, these would look fantastic on a shelf with a bit of backlighting.
If I learnt anything from my personal scale modeling experience, it's that simple kits with straight forward structure and easy details like this are the HARDEST to build well. With incredibly complicated models (like large military trucks with all the interior details e.g. Pantsir M1070 M977), you can make many mistakes and still fix them or at least hide them with no problem, and there's sufficient things to show in every angle to distract the eyes from the unpolished techniques from a modeling novice. But this thing? Lord help me if I used the wrong colour to wash or misplaced one photo-etched part even by a little. Brilliant build there Andy!
It’s large enough to include the inner workings of the turret, the magazine and mechanics of how the ordinance was transported to the guns themselves.
That is huge!!!!!!!! It would be cool to make the turret as a coastal defense battery for a "what if" scenario.
Just finished mine. Getting the ladders off and cleaning them up was horrible! But really came up nice. Wish we could add photos.
Superb looking model and big nice job Andy Steve 🇬🇧
Oh snap I gotta get the Bismark turret!
Light weathering is definitely the way to go, Yamato was kept in as pristine a condition as possible, basically parade ready. As for the movable internals of the barrels, I have this on order and plan to replace the plastic blast bags with cloth ones. With the internal hinges it means mine will have moveable barrels. Going to have to make a wire frame to keep the shape though, it's going to be in interesting challenge.
Hi from Russia! We like your channel very much! From us always thumb up 😄
I liked the way you touched up your little brown ring
Instead of mono filament, try low test braided line. It looks like twisted steel cable, and you can get that extra touch of realism, the sag of the cable. 😉🤓😎
If I were you I would build one right of. Good review. Very big curiosity. If only a turret with a catapult, My head just exploded. With all the 1/72 scale float planes out there. Some one make catapults please. Get it over with.
Lovely to listen to this intro once again
looks great maybe even add 1/72 sailor figures, working around and climbing on turret
This is really cool.
Oh man, if they make a full line of these things I'm gonna run out of space so fast. Hoping for Iowa class, and maybe OG USS Massachusetts, because of that awesome statue she had on the fore turret. Kinda want to make actual fabric blast bags for this thing though, so I could adjust the guns.
Yes!
Yes!
what type of fabric would you use??
Not sure. Would have to visit the fabric dept. Can't be to stiff and have to look right as well. Is there a un-dyed denim? Could maybe stain or paint?
@@robertthornton1171 Gave this some thought and have you ever seen those small bags that nuts and bolts come in?? I have some somewhere, they are thin.
As always, Andy produces a really good model. Interesting concept - a sort of close up.
Yamato is so well kept that she is almost brand new by the time she was sunk.
Yeah I have seen some people weather this turret like a D Day tank. Other than some salt spray she would have been almost pristine.
@malcolm macdougall I think they might have just been testing the waters with this one. Clearly there is a market for this sort of thing so I would expect more complex turrets to follow
Amazing!! rely nice work! Cant wait for Bismarck!!!!
Never mind USS Iowa, I want USS West Virginia! 😉😆😂
Looks great Andy....hopefully there's a nice wee series of turrets being released! 👍🏻
Virginia class pre-dreadnaught with the 8” guns stacked on top of the 12” gun turret. That would be cool.
There is 1/50 scale model of the Bismarck at the ship yard where she was built
Nice build, I think the change of music was cool.
Why do I have visions of someone buying 3 of these as a starting point for a 1/72 Yamato or Musashi?
YAMATOs
Very impressive. It's not the type of model that appeals to me, but a top job, once again!!
Andy thank you so much for doing this build review. I was on the fence on getting this but no more. Will be trying to find it up here in Canada
Strange subject to chose as their first kit as far as I remember! the only action it saw it was sunk!! certainly something different though thanks for sharing
Alright Takom, You've gotten yourself into something after releasing a turret. Now Make the Whole ship.
You do realize that it probably would be $1000.
@@michaelbenjmitchell1 yep
Andy, great build again...would be funny if they released full ship in 1.72 scale. But I think it would take up the whole store:-)
Schöner Bausatz hab ihn selbst vor einigen Tagen gebaut... Schade das man kein Bild senden kann
Nice touch playing Japanese music in the background
Awesome kit. Great looking build Andy.
I recently went to the Yamato Museum in Kure, Japan (near Hiroshima). Among the many interesting exhibits, there's a massive 1/10 scale model of the ship (it's 86 feet long!), and in the grounds outside the is an outline embedded in the brick paving of a full-size section of the port bow 'quarter' of the ship, including outlines of the turrets. You can see it on google earth...
Nice work Andy love how quick you knocked this one up. Always nice to see what's coming ;)
Hell ya can't wait for the Bismarck.
I’d love to see someone scratch build the rest of it under the deck. A cutaway diorama. Someone will I’m sure.
I intend to, fully functioning too. The engineering is mind boggling and I’m still saving for the 3D printer I want. Also making one that also functions (non firing of course) will need to be much bigger than this. Like, Big Green Egg size.
Incredible model :) great work Andy
Pity there isn't a detail kit out there that would include metal barrels, some sort of blast bag material that would allow the barrels to move and metal wire to replace some parts of the upper turret.
Now the rest of the ship!
very cool!!! hope they will come out with the Yamato superstructure
It would have been bloody nice if they also made the loading system _under_ the turret ! With the crew and such. :D
Awsome! The base of the model is about the same size as my diorama bases.
Very cool kit Andy.............................Have a nice Thanksgiving!!! 🦃🦃🦃
I can see one upgrade some may do to this that may make those swing arms useful. Fabric canvas bags. might be a bit of work to reshape the area to fit them but I could easily see someone doing it.
Nice build. I just bought this kit myself. I guess the moveable parts of the barrels give you the option to make cloth bags and have moveable barrels
Can’t wait until I can get my hands on this model great video!
Nice build Andy! Thanks because I've wait a long time to see this kit!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters Yes! You've done a really good job! ☺️☺️
Side units, they are the sighting hoods for the 15 metre rangefinder.
Excelente trabajo Andy...!!!!
Go ahead Andy, scratch build the ammo handling, ammo decks and powder magazine below decks ! Fujimi made the whole setup in 1/200 scale.
It would be amazing to have a little internal detail visible through the rear hatch, and leaving that open... I wonder if there will be aftermarket detailing kits for that at some point.
Would be nice if there was one for the Missouri
Andy, Andy, Andy. I've been following you for years, and enjoy your builds and tips, but... ;)
At 02:40 - "... where I think they'll go" - you should've said "will have to check sources, like 'Anatomy of the Ship' books - or just online pictures"...
Half the fun of modeling for me has always been the research - I learned what parts were 'irl', how they worked and what it took to operate them.
'Keep on Truckin'... er - building!
Respect from Canada
Reminds me of the spherical Russian ship turret you did a while ago. That was also nice kit if under-detailed.
A new Yamato in 1/200 would be wonderful
Fujimi 1/200 is nice as well
Awesome video!!! Wonder If the manufacturer is thinking about creating some 1:72 scale figures to add to the turrets??? IF so, that would really give some definition on how B-I-G these battleship turrets actually were.
I was not expecting much. but now you put it together it is a powerful looking piece
It has counter weights for the 18” guns.
Hi Andy. Very impressive kit. Have you seen the 1/72nd scale U.S.S. Enterprise aircraft carrier on UA-cam? What a model!! Enjoy the day. Ray L
any 1/72 scale figures to go with it? Would love to see the full ship in that scale.
Pity it doesn’t have all the turret as it goes down through the ship, the shell hoist etc
Like this one Andy nice job 👌
Glad you enjoyed it
that gun turret came out real good and i like Iowa class big guns
You could have dressed up with little round glasses and a kamikaze head bandana to make this model. Would have been great
Yamato, Bismarck turrets, combine these with their Kashtan CIWS and RPG-Models CIWS in 35th scale... these deck guns are awesome!
They should make one with the anit-aircraft guns
@malcolm macdougall I just noticed an error on the box art showing the second turret without the anti-aircraft guns
Andy-San, Banzai!
Andy, have a good thanksgiving! ✌
That is very, very cool!
I just had a thought Andy about where those 10 pieces go that you showed at the beginning of the video. You can see where they go if you look at the box art on the front of the box. Just saying :)
Hi Andy, another great build review, a little out of left field, what will they release next??? I hope you and your family are keeping safe and well. Bedt regards from Australia.
As always Andy a great build. I really love your work. Do you think it would be possible to put the monofilament line through the rail posts and then glue the posts to the turret?
Andy great vid as usal. Have you ever thought of trying a fan pattern airbrush for the larger areas. Much quicker.
I wonder if it might have been better to use a material for the blast bags that would have allowed the barrel position to be altered ?
the sides of the bases would be great painted black
now to find some scale figures to go with it
One more reason for the lack of heavy weathering is that the ship was barely 3 yrs old at the time she was sunk.
i got to have one of these!!!! are you going to put some sailors on it????
