| NorthStar Models has released a detail set specifically for the Imperial Japanese Navy battleships of the Yamato class, set NSA 350033, Yamato door and Hatches. The set includes photo-etch parts to detail hatches found on Yamato-class battleships. Previously, NorthStar released a set for other Japanese battleships and cruisers, set NSA 350032. | |||||

| THE PARTS | |||||
| The small photo-etch fret (2 1/2 x 2 3/4) is finely etched with very thin parts, and relief etching. There are both closed and open hatches. The latter (open style) has parts to replicate a canopy over the open hatch - a really nice touch! | |||||

|
|||||
| Instructions are a single, small (8x6) piece of paper. They show you how to assemble the various doors and hatches, but not where they will go. As always, check your references. The directions are, however, clear and easy to follow. | |||||
| CONCLUSIONS | |||||
| This is a really nice set, with
really nice detail. As with their earlier set, the open hatches would
be a really eye catcher at a model show, if done right.
This is NorthStar Models set 350033, 1/350 Yamato Doors and Hatches. The set retails for about $8.00 USD, and is available from many of our fine sponsors. This set should really add some great detail to either the Yamato and Musashi. Highly recommended. Thanks to North Star Models for the review sample. |
