1/700 Waterline Operations Box: The Last Battle Of The Yamato (10 Ship Set) [Tamiya/Aoshima/Hasegawa]

Original Japanese Edition, Plastic Model Kit, Brand New 

Relive one of the most dramatic moments of naval history with the 1/700 Waterline Operations Box: The Last Battle of the Yamato. This deluxe set from Tamiya, Aoshima, and Hasegawa brings together 10 intricately detailed ships that formed the Maritime Special Attack Force during Operation Kikusui, Japan’s final desperate sortie in April 1945.

Led by the world’s largest battleship Yamato, the fleet’s mission was a bold and tragic one: to reach Okinawa, run aground, and fight to the death against overwhelming Allied forces. Despite fierce resistance, Yamato and most of the fleet were sunk by waves of American aircraft before reaching their destination, marking a powerful end to the era of big-gun battleships.

The Waterline series faithfully captures these historic vessels at 1/700 scale, omitting the underwater hull for easy and realistic display. Despite Yamato’s massive size, the model is a compact 367mm long, making it ideal for collectors who want to recreate the final battle of the Combined Fleet.
