Leslie Cole Posted October 8, 2020 #1 Posted October 8, 2020 Morning all Newbie here. 1st post. I'm building the 200 scale Nichimo Yamato. Never knew it was ABS plastic, yep a pain. I have the English instructions and the anatomy book. For the life of me, I'm having a hard time following what little instructions are on hand. I wondering if any of you following members have built the Tamiya version 350 scale with better build instructions someone could sent me. I have one full sheet of plastic parts with no instructions anywhere, so I have no idea where they go. Having a hard time also with the smaller guns parts and the small radar masts placements I'm not a novice, having all ready built the Missouri, Hood, Iowa and the Bismarck. Appreciate any help I can get. Kind regards Les mtaylor, GrandpaPhil, JeffT and 2 others 5 Quote
Ryland Craze Posted October 8, 2020 #2 Posted October 8, 2020 Hi Leslie and welcome to Model Ship World. I am not a plastic ship modeler, but we have many talented builders of plastic ships who may be able to help you out. You could do a search of the Yamato on this site and check out the build logs for this ship. If you get a chance, please post pictures of your completed ships. We would like to see them JeffT and mtaylor 2 Quote Ryland Member - Hampton Roads Ship Model Society - Ship Model Society of New Jersey - Nautical Research Guild Current Build - Armed Virginia Sloop, 18th Century Longboat Completed Build - Medway Longboat

mtaylor Posted October 8, 2020 #4 Posted October 8, 2020 Les, What Ryland suggested is good advice. You also might ask your question here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/26-plastic-model-kits/ as it will get more eyeballs than here in the introductions. Welcome to MSW.
