Why this kit matters
The Yamashiro was one of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s prominent battleships, part of the Fusō class and saw operational service in World War II until she was lost in 1944.
For model makers this Fujimi kit offers a generous 60 cm plus length-scale canvas to showcase advanced modelling techniques — from deck detail and rigging to realistic weathering and display presentation. The high-quality moulding and attention to parts detail make this kit a standout for serious scale-model ship builds.
How to use it
Start by trimming and cleaning parts from sprues, then assemble hull halves and superstructure using plastic cement. Paint the hull and deck surfaces (primer recommended) before adding finer parts like turrets, boats, funnels and masts. Apply decals and finish the model with weathering or varnish as preferred. Once completed, mount on a base or display shelf for full effect.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
