Alfisti Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I have the Tamiya 1/700th scale Yamato and have noticed that the gun turrets,eg:parts C12,C14 etc that affix to the main bridge assembly are devoid of any barrels.Are they machine gun turrets and the barrels are too small to mould? TIA.........Landlubber Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each gun turret had a gun director which told the gun crew where to point and fire their guns. The director would contain range finding equipment, no guns so no barrels.

ArnoldAmbrose Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Gidday LLDave, I'm interested in your Yamato model. Does it have four secondary triple 155mm turrets or two? Mine had four, an early version of the ship. Regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfisti Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 Just found a really interesting YouTube channel called 'PLASMO',a scale modelling channel,there are many interesting builds of various subjects,but he completes a detailed build of a Fujimi 1/700th Yamato,most informative.Sorry,can't do links,technodinosaur.
