BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 BOX PACKAGE Ship modeling after a long time. This time I will try to make Aoshima’s battleship Yamashiro. I bought a detailed upset of the photo-etched parts and wood deck sheets.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 MAKING Until now, I didn’t wash the photo-etched parts, especially with detergent. The manual says that you had better wash it before painting. I think that there is no problem because I always use metal primers. Once, I wash it with a household dishwasher. I wonder if it will rust?

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 MAKING There are a few similar parts of the main gun. The parts specified by the manual are better molding. The mold has improved as the muzzle is open from the beginning.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 MAKINGThere used to be such a tool as an etching vendor to bend the parts of the AFV model. To work the photo-etched parts of the current ship model is not very useful for them. The only way is to work perseverance with tweezers and thinner pliers.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 MAKING There are a lot of etched parts around the chimney.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 MAKING I am tired of detailed work, so I am building a hull. Aoshima’s kit contains ballasts; it is built-in and glued.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 MAKING I assembled the rear bridge.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 MAKINGI thought that only Fujimi had many etching parts, but Aoshima’s Yamashiro is plenty, too. There are lots of changes.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 MAKING There is a good boarding mold on the deck. It would become real even if I painted.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 MAKING BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 MAKING I attached the photo-etched parts of the outboard electric circuit of degaussing.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 MAKING Photo-Etched parts construction on the rear deck is also finished. Although it will resemble past examples, I will try to paint warship colors by looking at the timing. If I use a wood deck seal and avoid masking work, you must divide the paint works by all means.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 MAKING First, the airbrush was painted from the bottom of the ship.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 MAKING I mounted a bridge and a chimney to check the feeling. It is strange unless you are putting main gun turrets on board.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 MAKINGWell, finally, the warship color paint.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 MAKING The warship color is being painted. I thought that the handrail would be finished better than painting with the brush all over from the beginning. I blew the airbrush.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 PAINTING I am nervous when sticking a wooden deck seal.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 PAINTING I intended to stick the deck stick tightly; seals have been turned up from place to place. I pasted it with Superglue. It may be better to change the tone of the seal. I have adhered to the main parts, such as the bridge. I like it quite a lot because this work is increasingly shaped.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 PAINTINGWhen fitting the main gun, the poly cap was pretty brutal. At the time, the battleship designer probably had trouble arranging various parts. Moreover, there is not much space, and it tends to interfere. Of the six gun turrets, 12 guns are overloaded.
Next week I am moving my apartment, so I wonder if I can update it for a while.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 PAINTING I found a battleship Yamashiro that I had forgotten about a month. The handrail had to be glued while bending a lot of places, which was difficult. Finally, 35 25mm machine guns will be mounted on the deck. Because it is adhesive to the wood deck seal, it will not be attached unless it is Super Glue. Let’s paint the warship color to the machine gun beforehand.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 PAINTING Speaking of which, I forgot to fix the hose reel mold that was left when I applied the wood deck seal. I try to wrap a 0.1 mm copper wire around a plastic 1 mm diameter round bar and bond it with the photo-etched parts.

YOGIBO MIDI AND YOGIBO ROLL MAX ARRIVED The other day, Yogibo, a beaded cushion, arrived. It is funny that it’s more significant than the refrigerator if I put the two together.

YOGIBO MIDI AND YOGIBO ROLL MAX ARRIVEDThe lime green Yogibo Midi and the light gray Yogibo Roll Max. Probably these are valuable relaxing items. Watching a movie with my wife and lying sideways alone is very comfortable. As I bought it for the first time, I can not compare it with the cheaper bead cushions of other companies, but it takes a long time to break down, the outer cover is strong and washable, and bead cushions can be added.

Battleship Yamashiro 1944 Imperial Japanese Navy Aoshima 1/700 BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK The battleship Yamashiro was finally completed. This battleship plastic model was about 30 cm when assembled. Battleship Yamashiro is a Fuso-class dreadnought battleship. The Fuso-type battleship was built on two ships: Fuso and Yamashiro. It is the next class of the Kongo class Battleship before the Ise class battleship.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK During the Pacific War, Yamashiro was slow in ship speed, so It could not work with the task force, and there was little opportunity for success. The battleships were proposed to be remodeled into aircraft carriers when the four main carriers were lost in the Battle of Midway. It was a candidate for major remodeling but was abandoned because the construction took too long.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK The crest of the chrysanthemum attached to the bow of the battleship (the emblem of the Japanese royal family) was better to install after shaving a little thinner.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK At the end of the Pacific War, the US forces landed in the Philippines, part of the absolute defense zone set by the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy. The Battle of Leyte occurred to attack the US Army in October 1944. Yamashiro was bombarded by bullet fire by the terrific radar shooting from US battleships and cruisers. Finally, four torpedoes hit and sank. It has been said that there was a crew of nearly 1,500 because the aircraft gun personnel was increased, and the survivors were only ten people.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK In the final stage of the Battle of Leyte, the Night Battle of the Surigao Strait is said to be the last battle in which battleships were bombarded by each other. The force was two battleships, one cruiser, and four destroyers called the Nishimura fleet. It was an operation that had little chance of winning. As a result, only the destroyer Shigure barely survived, but everything else sank. However, it is difficult to understand the war situation of other troops at this time. It cannot be said that the decision to rush at the time was a mistake.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK The Battle of the Sea of Leyte was a total sea power war of the rest Imperial Japanese Navy from October 20 to 25, 1944. As a result, it can be said that the Imperial Japanese Navy was almost destroyed. Later, innumerable discussions were made, and many books were published. The odds of losing are high, but there seems to be a theory that winning is possible. Both domestic and foreign interest is high because IJN received a blow at the end. I want to read related books a little more.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK Commissioned: March 31, 1917
Displacement: 39,130 long tons
Length: 224.94
Beam: 34.60m
Speed: 24.6 knots
Complement: 1,193

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK Armament:
6 × twin 356 mm (14 in) guns
16 × single 152 mm (6 in) guns
4 × twin 127 mm (5 in) guns
92 × Type 96 25 mm (0.98 in) AA guns
catapult x 1, reconnaissance seaplane x 3

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK The ship name sign of the battleship Yamashiro is JGFA, so I tried to attach the signal flags to the mast. It’s a good accent in the only gray ship model.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK The Same class battleship Fuso had become a twisted bridge with repeated renovations. Almost illegal building level. Yamashiro was not so much?

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK US PT BOAT AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK US PT BOAT AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK I looked closely at the manual. I think it’s a bonus, and there were parts of a US PT boat. It is a good job that the PT boat attacked the Japanese fleet in the night battle has entered. Even though there are only eight parts, it is quite a good mold. It is a waterline model.

US PT BOAT AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK US PT BOAT AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORK The PT boat is famous for being the captain of the later US president, Lt. Kennedy. That PT boat collided with the destroyer Amagiri and sank. The crew swam to the island, and Lieutenant Kennedy was awarded as a great contributor to the crew’s rescue.

BATTLESHIP YAMASHIRO 1944 AOSHIMA 1/700 FINISHED WORKI’ve been making only Fujimi kits recently, and I think it would be pretty cool after completing the Aoshima’s Imperial Japanese Navy battleship. I think sandbags are stacked around the triple-mount AA gun and painted dark yellow.

    Very nice build. I am attempting to build the battleship Hyuga 1942 after her number 5 turret was replaced with 4 triple 25 mm guns. I am retired and do not buy a lot of aftermarket details, so I am doing some scratch building on the bridge and funnel areas.

  2. MINIATURE-ARCADIA says:

    Good morning. ​Thank you for coming to see Yamashiro. ​You are going to make battleship Hyuga. ​It was right after the second turret explosion accident. I don’t make ship plastic models these days. ​Before I knew it, Fujimi’s photo edge parts price had gone up a lot. ​It’s great that you can improve the details with a scratch building. ​By the way, 1/700 of the photo edge parts are so fine that my eyes hurt. ​Good modeling!
