The kit recreates the second Fuso-class battleship with her distinctive pagoda-style superstructure, full hull, and heavily reinforced anti-aircraft armament. Newly researched and redesigned fittings provide finer detail throughout while keeping the parts layout approachable for assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMultiple slide-mold techniques reproduce small-scale details including the searchlight truss without requiring photo-etched parts. Newly tooled anti-aircraft weapons, searchlights, radar equipment, boats, and aircraft catapult further update the model, while 12 metal gun barrels add definition to the main armament. The combination of a full-hull presentation and renewed fittings gives naval modelers a detailed representation of Yamashiro's late-war configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/700 scale full-hull model of IJN battleship Yamashiro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepicts Yamashiro in her late Pacific War configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly researched and redesigned outfitting components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlide-mold construction provides intricate molded details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated anti-aircraft guns and machine guns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolded searchlight truss eliminates the need for photo-etched parts in that area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 12 metal gun barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly designed Type 89 12.7 cm twin high-angle guns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 96 25 mm twin and triple machine guns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Type 22 and Type 13 radar equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed Kure Type No. 2 Model 5 aircraft catapult\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes multiple ship's boats and searchlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImperial chrysanthemum crest included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreamlined parts layout designed for straightforward assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIncluded in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/700 IJN Battleship Yamashiro full-hull model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 metal gun barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 96 25 mm triple machine guns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 m motor launch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 22 radar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e110 cm searchlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKure Type No. 2 Model 5 catapult\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 89 12.7 cm twin high-angle guns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 m cutters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 13 radar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 96 25 mm twin machine guns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnchors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 cm signal searchlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11 m motor boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImperial chrysanthemum crest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"group TyagGW_tableContainer TyagGW_tableContainerWithTableOfContents\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TyagGW_tableWrapper flex flex-col-reverse w-fit\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"w-fit min-w-(--thread-content-width)\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"last:pe-10\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"last:pe-10\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAoshima\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull-Hull Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/700\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattleship Model Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly Required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRenewed outfitting parts, slide-molded details, 12 metal gun barrels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIJN Battleship Yamashiro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNationality\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMore Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout IJN Battleship Yamashiro\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYamashiro was the second of two Fuso-class battleships built for the Imperial Japanese Navy and was completed in 1917 during World War I. Like her sister ship Fuso, Yamashiro underwent extensive modernization that dramatically altered her appearance, including the development of the towering pagoda-style superstructure for which the class became particularly recognizable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring World War II, Yamashiro served with the Imperial Japanese Navy and received additional anti-aircraft armament as the conflict progressed. In October 1944, she participated in the Battle of Leyte Gulf as part of Vice Admiral Shoji Nishimura's Southern Force. Yamashiro entered Surigao Strait alongside Fuso and other Japanese vessels, where the force encountered overwhelming U.S. naval opposition. Yamashiro was sunk during the Battle of Surigao Strait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Aoshima Full-Hull Series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAoshima's Full-Hull Series presents warships with their complete hulls represented below the waterline rather than limiting the models to waterline configurations.
