The Yamato (Japanese 大 和) was a battleship built during World War II that served in the Imperial Japanese Navy. It was the first warship of the Yamato class, which along with its twin sister Musashi were the largest battleships built in human history. The main idea behind building such powerful warships was the arms race with the US, which dominated the Pacific. Construction of the Yamato began in 1937 and it entered service on December 16, 1941, a week after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The ship was armed, among other things, with nine monstrous 460mm guns. Her overall length was 263 meters, beam 38.9 meters, draft 11 meters and a displacement of 65,000 tons. It reached a top speed of 27 knots (50 km/h). Nearly 2,500 people served on the ship. It was sunk in a major skirmish on April 7, 1945, by American torpedo planes and bombers.
Compared to the standard edition, the Executive Edition includes an exclusive figure of Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. The set also includes two additional nano-planes and a black plate that can be mounted on the brick base.
The Yamato battleship is a huge model made of COBI building blocks. Like other warships, it is designed in a 1:300 scale model. The latest edition is even more faithful to the smallest details and details of its historical inspiration. After assembling the 2665 elements, the Yamato is 90 cm (30.4 ") long and 19.5 cm (7.7") high. It has many movable elements such as on-board cannons and anti-aircraft batteries, rotating artillery towers, rudders and propellers. The set includes a special display stand with a plate printed with the ship's name. A nice addition is a unique stone that mimics the Golden Orchid, the imperial symbol that adorned the bow of the ship. The model is perfect for all history, army, navy and military technology enthusiasts. It looks great and arouses admiration and much interest! Thanks to the intuitive instructions based on clear directions, the construction is simple and easy. The estimated time to build the Yamato is about 8 hours of construction history! The model was designed and manufactured in Poland (EU).
