Hi Everyone I’ve always wanted a 1/200 scale Yamato to motorise believing that the 1/350 is a little too small for our choppy local duck pond. Imagine my surprise when the Glow2B model was released a few weeks ago, well I just had to get one. There are a few websites and videos showing the contents of the box but I wanted to show visitors to this site what the two scales look like next to each other. The aircraft is a 1/48 p-38F for comparison. I’ve also photographed the excellent newer Tamiya 1/350 version next to the massive 1/200 Glow2B version to show the size comparison, please note the Tamiya version looks a little odd because I’ve just used the lower half of the hull (below the waterline part). If you are a Yamato nut like me you will find all my photo’s of the 1/10 scale Yamato at the museum in Kure Japan, just open the links to these photo’s in a separate window and it should take you to my Flickr pages. I’ve done the right thing and given my Dad the Tamiya kit and I’m going to tackle the Glow2B version, it’s going to be a slow build due to the 2800 parts but I’ll attempt to show it’s progress as often as I can. Both kits look incredible in the box and I’ve dry fitted a few parts on the 1/200 version and haven’t encountered any fit issues so far which is doubly amazing given the size of some of the deck sections. This photo shows a 1/35 scale Tiger tank turret next to a Yamato turret. Hopefully these pictures may help those still deciding if the 1/200 version is just too big to hide from the missus. Anyway, that’s all for now. Regards Trace
