Recommended Posts

       G'day @steve5, welcome back. I've been wondering where you've been. I see that you've decided to ease back into the hobby gently with a nice simple build. 😁 I'll certainly be following your progress.

       Regards, Jeff.

Yes, I was sorry to hear that. I'm glad you're getting on top of things now.

Good to have you back Steve.  Can't imagine what it's like to rebuild after losing your wife.

Looking ofrwards to seeing this project unfold

the hood took about 2 and a half weeks, and the yamato , should be between 6-12 months I would imagine , I did the missouri and the bismarck in 10 and 9 months respectfully

Good to see you back in business, Steve, with such a big baby!
 

It's going to keep us busy and attentive for several months, if not years!

G'day Steve, according to drawings in the 'Anatomy of the ship Yamato', YES. But there aren't any photos in the book that show the scuttles/port holes. I've only got drawings to go by, which are a good indication but not proof. HTH. Regards, Jeff.

 

P.S. - one photo, bottom corner of page 29 seems to show them.

Further to the above, they seem to be part of the port hole frame, a more prominent lip on the top half of the rim, not a separate item attached above. HTH. Regards, Jeff.

If I may add, Yamato much like other of the most recent Japanese ships of WW2 had almost all design and maintenance documentation related to her destroyed prior to Japan's surrender. So many of the drawings out there are best guess really which doesn't mean they're wrong but they also can't be taken to be 100 gospel truth, that does also mean that it's hard to be proven wrong with what ever you choose,.....

Steve have you had a look online at the Yamato museum model it looks like it has the eyebrows and some armour covers fitted
