Offered by Over The Blue Horizon and recently obtained in Tokyo is a superb pictorial: “IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVY BATTLESHIP YAMATO” from Model Art Publications. 

Exceptionally well done, this richly illustrated book provides some great photographs of the 1/350 and 1/700 TAMIYA kits; super detail drawings of various components of the Yamato; a very nicely done section on gun emplacements on the Yamato; some outstanding photographs of the incredible 1/10 scale model at the Yamato Museum in Kure, Japan; a multi-page fold-out with 1/100 scale plans of the main turrets; and much, much more all complemented with very clear and useful photographs of the Yamato as she appeared in 1944/45.  We have seen many publications on the super-battleship – this one is one of the better ones!  Text is largely in Japanese but with an English language, four page insert -- exceptionally useful!
