Fujimi 451749 IJN Series Super [Yamato] Type Battle Ship Remodeling Plan of Phantom 1/700

Fujimi 451749 IJN Series Super [Yamato] Type Battle Ship Remodeling Plan of Phantom is a highly detailed 1/700 scale plastic model kit, making it an excellent choice for maritime enthusiasts and fans of alternate historical visions. This model depicts a hypothetical, unrealized project of a modernized Super Yamato-class battleship—a vessel that could have potentially become the mightiest ship of the Imperial Japanese Navy (Kantai Nippon Kaigun). The design draws inspiration from the original expansion plans of the legendary Yamato battleship, the pride of the Japanese fleet during World War II, introducing numerous modifications that were never realized due to the end of the war.

• Scale: 1/700 – allows for a high level of detail while saving space in your collection.
• Country of Origin: Japan (Imperial Navy, fictional post–World War II development plan and postwar proposals).
• Material: high-quality plastic, guaranteeing crisp detail and ease of assembly; the base kit does not include resin parts or metal barrels.
• Unique Concept: The ship features futuristic equipment—including enhanced main and anti-aircraft armament, a modernized superstructure, and upgraded radar systems—in line with late-war development trends.
• Historical Period: Inspired by the latter half of World War II and by hypothetical projects that might have emerged during the Cold War era had battleships remained the principal striking force of fleets.
• Category: plastic model kit, maritime historical fiction.

The Fujimi Super [Yamato] model is a true treat for advanced modelers looking for unconventional projects and for collectors of battleships interested in "what if" scenarios in naval history. The precision of the kit and the large number of small parts mean that assembly requires experience and patience.

We especially recommend this kit to fans of Japanese military technology, advanced model builders, and collectors of alternate ship designs.

Assembly difficulty: 4/5 – recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers.
