Tamiya 1/350 Yamato

QUOTE: Originally posted by SkippyOU110 I was wondering if anybody knew if a kit of Tamiya's 1/350 Yamato is still the same as the same kit from 1979. I found one dated 1979 cheap and if no changes were made in the kit I'd like to get this one. Thanks!

Skippy, if you are wondering if the kit now captures the changes in shape to the hull that are in the beautiful new Tamiya 1/700th scale kit, I don't think they do.

But the big kit is so impressive, no one cares!

Most likely the molds have been updated several times since 1979. Molds do not last forever and will begin to wear after a few thousand kits have been created. Tamiya has a high standard of quality and probably replace their molds frequently adding in any corrections and/or improvements to details

Yes, If it is Yamato 1:350 must be the same kit.
I don't know when Tamyia had realeased Yamato 1:350, i've bought my YAMATO in 1992.

Same kit as far as I know...
