Back in Stock: Neptun 1/1250 IJN Battleship Yamato 1945
We're pleased to announce the return of a highly sought-after collector's piece — the Neptun 1201 Japanese Battleship Yamato (1945) in 1/1250 scale. This finely crafted metal model represents the most famous and powerful battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy in her final configuration.
Historical context:
The IJN Yamato remains one of the most iconic warships ever built. As the lead ship of her class, she was the largest and most heavily armed battleship ever constructed, displacing over 70,000 tons when fully loaded. Her nine 18.1-inch main guns were the largest ever mounted on a warship, capable of firing 3,200-pound shells over 26 miles.
Commissioned in 1941, the Yamato served as the flagship of the Combined Fleet and participated in several major engagements of the Pacific War. This model captures the Yamato in her 1945 configuration — the final chapter of her legendary service before her loss during Operation Ten-Go in April of that year.
