Japanese Battleship YAMATO, JSC, 1:400

fluthecrank · 03-06-2008, 03:47 PM

Dear Friends,

I`ve already started a new project. The japanese Battleship YAMATO, JSC, 1:400.

The kit very accurate printed and it fits very good.

Here are the first pictures to show how it works.............

all formers prepared
fortunately nothing must be doubled with cardboard

here is the skeleton.........the triangle beam brings a lot of stiffness!!

the deck is beginning by the stern,
here is the aircraft lift, the tracks for aircraft transfer und the hangar doors visible......

the prepared maindeck.....

and the maindeck in position (not glued), the tracks are detailed too

solong guys yours Frank

Dear Friends

I went on with the armoured belt:

next step was to cut a lot of stanchions....

the boats cranes

and the beginning of the superstructure.........

best regards Frank

JSC's models have always been simple but realistic compared to other publishers, I'm watching this build with interest!

I found those two photografic (here and here) reports, about the 1/10 (

YES very BIG) model of the Yamato battleship. If I well remember, they lasted height years to complete this behemoth.

You can find a lot of details at this scale

Enjoy,
Nando

Hi ya!

Again its a very nice build!...however I noticed something...

Shouldn't the gray triangle parts of the stanchions be cut also? I may be mistaken of course. Just asking

The Halinski Yamato instructions shows those parts to be cut out. I don't know what the JCS Yamato instructions show though.

Still I like the way you're making it

lriera · 03-11-2008, 02:30 AM

So many pieces, so little ones... Very well done.

eibwarrior · 03-11-2008, 08:29 PM

Great start Flu. This is a very detailed model for the JSC brand. Yet simple too. Just a lot of pieces.

Do your best, I know you will.

fluthecrank · 03-13-2008, 04:49 PM

Hi Folks,

here is the design of the superstructure.........

the parts

cut out

prepared/ folded

and assembled

so it looks at the model..........

best regards FLU

Looking superb flu! How many levels will that superstructure be? Seems pretty beefy
