Holy man! That 1/10 scale Yamato is bigger than the size of a real life yacht[:0].

I'll be heading on over to Kure next month to check out that 1/10 Yamato and the Yamato museum.
There is a 1/1 outline of the Yamato on the grounds of the museum as well.
I'' be sure to take and post lots of pix!

Ditto. And thank you, Japan, for being a fine ally for a half century now.

There's a beautiful 1:10 model of Yamato in Japan, I believe that it's been recently completed at the Kure museum...here's a photo...notice the worker on the deck...

Over on the j-aircraft message boards, there was mention of them building a section of the Yamato in 1:1 scale. Off the top of my graying head, I don't recall which portion it was.
