Best PE options for the Tamiya Premium Yamato kit in 1/350
Posted by icit on Thursday, December 29, 2016 8:56 PM

I'm looking for recommendations for the best AM Photo etch sets I should get for the new Tamiya Premium Yamato kit in 1/350 or recommendations and advise from someone who has already built it. By the way I bought this kit at a church penny sale still sealed for $20- Merry Christmas right!!

I can't help with the recommendations for PE but I am curious as to whether or not you picked up the kit #78025? If so you really scored! Even if it's the older kit you've done very, very well with that $20.00.

Wow,that kit runs between 300-400 on ebay.If that's the one you scored real big.

I saw on ebay that fly hawk makes a set for that kit.

That's the one, I couldn't believe it and I didn't ask where it came from or the circumstances I just grabbed it. I should've gone out and bought a lottery ticket. ICIT

I suppose you know that the kit comes with some PE. But, if you want to go crazy (and maybe broke Big Smile) you could order something like this:

http://www.bnamodelworld.com/model-ships-boats-detail-up-parts-mk1-design-md-35024

They're out of stock but you could click the little button on the page to be notified when they'll have it back in stock. They're in Australia but I've ordered from them several times because they've had what I wanted in stock at the time. It takes a bit longer to get the product but it's not too bad.

There's also an Artwox wood deck set for that kit.

I hope others with more knowledge about this kit will chime in with more useful information.

Thanks Mike, I saw the P.E. that came with it. It's not bad and looks like it takes on quite a bit but I will check out your link. Thanks for the info. ICIT
