Japan Holiday

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys,

the next few are all I could take in the main areas as some sections photo's are not to be taken, as many pictures show war dead and pictures are very much frowned upon.

One of the battleship Nagato's boiler, a model of Nagato and a general shot.

Nice shots!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Very nice! IMHO the Yamato was the best looking battleships ever.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice shots Wayne!

Thanks guys, now i move to another display area where we have a Type 95 torpedo, Kaiten and Mini Submarine and the second primary reason I wanted to visit the Yamato Museuum...to see a real life Japanese Zero!

 

[Gnomey]

Good shots Wayne!

 

[ontos]

Great shots again Wayne, man that is one big model, that's what I call detail.

 

[Wayne Little]

And more Zero shots....and as I posted in the recent purchases thread I got me a Zero kit at the local Kure model shop !

Great pictures Wayne and to be so close to that Zero, I bet you were wrapped and wanted to take it home.

Thanks Guys, more zero and one of the 13mm wing guns along with a detailed Mini Sub cross secttion.

 

[vikingBerserker]

To me the Zero is one of those aircraft that has a timeless beautify about it. Great pics!

 

[Shinpachi]

It would have been so impressive for you to walk around in the museum, Wayne.
The mini sub set was for NHK drama "真珠湾からの帰還 (Return from Pearl Harbor)" produced in 2011.
Story of the first Japanese POW Kazuo Sakamaki.

Super stuff.

Cheers Guys...

TAMIYA contributed a lot to restore the Zero as a volunteer.
Rear half of the fuselage is said genuine TAMIYA made.
