Bring one of history’s most iconic warships to life with this highly detailed 1/200 scale 3D model of the IJN Yamato’s superstructure. Designed with accuracy and realism in mind, this model captures the immense scale and complexity of the Yamato-class battleship’s upper works—including its imposing tower bridge, fire control systems, rangefinders, and radar arrays.
Whether you're working on a full RC conversion of the Yamato or building a static centerpiece for display, this model offers outstanding detail, modular design, and print-ready components worthy of the world’s largest battleship.
Model Features:Historically Accurate Design: Carefully modeled using wartime references and high-quality blueprints, this superstructure captures the distinct layered bridge, command tower, anti-aircraft platforms, mast arrays, radar domes, and optical rangefinders of the Yamato and Musashi.
Modular for Ease of Printing: The model is split into multiple parts (bridge tiers, rangefinders, radar masts, gun mounts, platform details) to ensure high-resolution prints and ease of post-processing. Ideal for both resin and FDM printing depending on your preferred level of detail.
Extreme Surface Detail: Features realistic portholes, ladders, hatches, fire control optics, and fine rivet/plate textures—all scaled precisely for 1/200 and 1/350 modeling. Perfect for close-up photography, painting, and weathering.
RC-Compatible Mounting: Designed with a flat, reinforced base that can be integrated into RC ship hulls (such as full Yamato hull builds in 1/200 and 1/350 scale).
Hollow interior allows for wiring, lighting, or control system access.
Compatible with servo-driven turret systems, LEDs, or smoke units for funnel detailing (modding required).
Securely mounts to deck via printed tabs or magnetic fixtures.
Printing Recommendations:Resin highly recommended for fine parts like rangefinders, radar, and ladders
FDM viable for main tower segments at 0.1–0.2mm layer height
Supports required for overhangs and mast elements
Glue or pin parts for added stability; ideal for super-detailing and photoetch upgrades
Ideal For:Builders of full RC Yamato-class ships in 1/200 scale
Static model displays of the bridge and upper tower
Dioramas, museum-style models, or educational displays
Naval modellers seeking high-detail WWII ship components
Hobbyists enhancing existing Yamato kits or scratch-build projects
Recreate the towering might of the Yamato—a ship that symbolized the height of naval engineering and power during World War II. Whether you're building her for the pond or the shelf, this superstructure model is the centerpiece your battleship deserves.
