Q: How can this model be converted to its 1945 condition?

There are alternative parts in the kit. I must say that this is a beautiful kit which will give you many hours of pleasure but please read and follow the instructions and carefully paint the lower part of the hull before going too far with building. I used thin car pin striping tape to give me a smart hull line.

Q: can I get extra brass detail ie guns ladders etc for this kit?

I can’t find anyone selling extra brass fittings. You may have to get them made by someone.

Q: Hi, is the deck a single moulded part or two sections, thanks.

Hi Richard, There are three sections, Fore deck, Aft deck and a centre section for mounting the super structure. I hope this info helps you. It is a beautiful kit when finished. Please paint the hull before doing any serious building and after painting I used car pinstripe tape for the water line but you will need another pair of hands whilst applying the tape. Peter

Q: Hi, Can this ship be converted to remote control

I used to be into diesal and electric powered radio control boats many years ago. Plastic kits like these are purely decoration. This particular model has also a very short beam. It would turn over. In fact there wouldnt be enough room for the electrics or the engine, or the screw shaft. Other radio controlled frigates etc. Are normally 6-8 feet long which cost hundreds to make.motor torpedo boats are a popular radio control model. But not plastic. Nowadays preformed grp hulls have partly taken over from building wood framed hulls. And bending ply to fit the sides of hull. Also there needs to be top access to inside of boat. Plastic kits like this was never designed to have a part of the superstructure removable.

Terrific Tamiya

Once again, Tamiya proves to be one of the best, if not the best, model maker available. The quality is readily apparent on opening the box. I have only just started to build the ship, so this is as far as I can comment. However, if the initial impression is anything to go by, this will be another most excellent kit from Tamiya.The kit was received from the supplier in first-class condition and in good time.

Worth the effort,worth the price.( Amazon price not Trumpeter)

I have to give it five stars because the parts were clean and fitted perfectly. But the instructions were abysmal. Parts not used were only listed at the back, and gave rise to much head scratching. Steps were a bit haphazard. All over the place . Completing one stage when it was discovered that a step had been overlooked and should have been done a step or two earlier. Annoying, but got there in the end. A good looking ship.

Tamiya first class

Although I have not started to build this ship yet (being involved with the Tamiya Yamato) I have looked inside and everything appears perfect. As always, Tamiya have done a wonderful job with the box itself giving me every confidence that the model is going to be just as good when completed. I can recommend all of the Tamiya Battleships having built the Bismarck and Tirpitz.

Not for the beginner

This a large and highly detailed model and typical of many Tamiya kits. Well presented and looks great though some issues with the poor instruction manual and seem to have lots of duplicate parts.Personally I didn't get on with the photo etch parts particularly the radar and antenna as the parts are so microscopic even with my magnifier I struggled to assemble.This is the first battleship I have built. I am happy with the results, but would change some build steps if I had the chance to make again.
