Greetings, I have recently purchased the Tamiya new tool Yamato and the accompanying Lion Roar up-detail set. I have gone through and marked where each instruction intersects with the other except for one item. The Lion Roar has an AA gun that I can't find in the Tamiya instructions, and furthermore, I can't ID it, nor where it should be placed on the Yamato. I scoured navweapons.com to no avail and wondered if any of you might have an idea;
It only calls for two of them, but I'm at a lost as to what they are and where they go, any ideas?
Thanks!
That looks like a twin barrel Type 93, 13.2 aa gun.
I've no clue where they go. Skulski says "either side of the tower bridge" whatever that suggests.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
To finish this odyssey it seems that the AA placement is here, per the Kure museum model (mirror on port); Again, thanks much!
This has been a lot of fun to participate in.
I'm not an IJN fan, although I have a Kagero Class Destroyer sort of going.
The thought of building a Yamato/ Musashi is the stuff of nightime flop sweats...
That museum model is a thing of beauty. I really like the armored bridge (citadel) way up there on top of the tower.
Intereresting thing about that model is all of the larger caliber guns that are removed from their turrets.
So when RIK says licensed built, it was Hotchkiss.
The author I referenced was of the volume of Anatomy of the Ship. Always worth owning.
Retired In Kalifornia Excellent! At least y'all found good photo references, I'm struggling interpreting features from less than half dozen photos building two floatplanes, they'll have to do.
