Uncarina Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 I have at least three Pontos sets: two in 1/200 scale and one (maybe two*) in 1/72 scale. Even in those scales there are an amazing number of tiny pieces. I can only imagine how microscopic the pieces are for their 1/700 set. Cheers, Tom *I strongly suspect Pontos provided the extra parts in my Revell Type VIIC/41 Platinum kit. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbaldguy Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Very pretty boat. Bad way for it to die. Isn’t there a really HUGE model of it in Japan somewhere? I mean REALLY big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 And the full scale model they made for a movie. From the bridge forward, full size. LSP_Matt, Uncarina and Hartmann352 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I may have to eventually snatch the Takom 1:72 Yamato turret kit. LSP_Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncarina Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 The display base for this beast could cost as much as the kit. My plan for the HMS Rodney I’m building is to get an aquarium from the petstore, flip it upside down, and voila! $100, or cheaper when there’s a sale.

Its a nice kit - and a great idea - I built it about a year ago just to take a small break from 1/32 projects. I also have the Bismarck turret and I will likely also get the New Jersey Kit. Takom have some really cool ideas for new kits in my opinion. LSP_Matt, Uncarina and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt I've been told that every time a new company starts up in China they get a boat-load of money. So that explains the many Trumpeter off-springs..: a new boatload every time, and I suppose Trumpeter ownership balance neatly on the edge of 'new-company' and 'sister-company' Fine with me - we are getting loads of great kits LSP_Matt and Zola25 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola25 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 You can check out the full set of instructions for the 1/200 Yamato kit here: https://www.axels-modellbau-shop.de/katalog/media/products/5058052000_MA_Building_Instructions.pdf Looks to be very detailed and I am certainly tempted. The icing on the cake would be a proper wooden deck.. /Niels Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
