The Yamato was the largest and most powerful battleship ever completed. She led the Japanese fleet that attacked Midway, and fought valiantly at the Battle of Leyte Gull. She was sunk in April of 1945. after taking damage from over 11 torpedoes and at least 7 bombs. Based on secret Japanese Navy plans No. 19.215-220 , this huge plastic kit is a highly detailed model of the Yamato as she looked at the time of the Battle of Leyte Gulf. The Yamato can be motorized and radio controlled with any two-channel radio. She runs at high or low speeds through the use of an ingenious reduction gear system for the four propellers. The Yamato also features a patented waterproofing system, built-in battery holders and all gears, wiring and running hardware. (Motors and batteries are not included. You'll need a Mabuchi RS540 motor for the propellers, and a Mabuchi RE260 motor for the gun and radar system.) Kit features over 600 parts made of brass, steel, metal, styrene and ABS plastic. The one-piece hull is over 4 feet long. Construction is very simple for a kit this large with so many working features. Includes its own display base.
