The 'ShipCraft' series provides in-depth information about building
and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly
illustrated, each book takes the modeller through a brief history
of the subject class, then moves to an extensive photographic
survey of either a high-quality model or a surviving example of the
ship. Hints on building the model, and on modifying and improving
the basic kit, are followed by a section on paint schemes and
camouflage, featuring numerous colour profiles and highly-detailed
line drawings. The strengths and weaknesses of available kits of
the ships are reviewed, and the book concludes with a section on
research references - books, monographs, large-scale plans and
relevant websites.The Yamato class battleships of the Imperial
Japanese Navy were the largest warships of the Second World War and
the largest battleships ever constructed, displacing 78,800 tonnes.
They also carried the largest naval artillery ever fitted to a
warship - 18in guns. Neither Yamato nor her sistership Musashi made
much impact on the War. Musashi was sunk during the battle of Leyte
Gulf while Yamato, deployed in a deliberate suicide attack on
Allied forces at the battle of Okinawa, was finally sunk by US
carrier-based aircraft; Not 300 of her 3,330 crew survived.
