1/700 WLB046 Aoshima Yamashiro Battleship - IJN
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Very highly detailed and finely molded. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The beautiful box art shows Yamashiro steaming off the coast on fleet maneuvers or review. Yamashiro ("Mountain Castle") and her sister ship Fuso were a class of two inter-war dreadnoughts. They were most impressive vessels, especially with the fantastic, towering "pagoda" mast structure from her 1935 rebuild. After a long and most interesting career & service, she was sunk with Fuso in the of Battle of Surigao Strait. Paul Allen and his crew aboard the research ship RV Petrel discovered the wreak in 2017.
