Space Battleship YAMATO (BANDAI 1/350) WIP #1

Please let me introduce “Space Battleship YAMATO”.

I’m afraid that so much of you don’t know the ship, but Space Battleship Yamato is one of the most beatiful space ship, designed by Leiji Matsumoto, Japanese famous comic artist and animator. Off course, he was motivated by Battleship YAMATO.

Treatment for parting lines. Especially the line below the gun emplacement should be pulled up so that the whole shape looks better. The banks beside the 3rd cannon should be heightened as well.
