Detailing
Customers are highly impressed with the intricate detailing of the Bandai Space Battleship Yamato 1:500 Scale Model Kit. The model's precision and high-quality design have been praised, making it a joy to assemble for both beginner and experienced modelers. Some customers noted that while it is a snap-together kit, glue and paint can enhance its appearance. The model's impressive features include moving parts, colored plastic, and no waterslide decals. However, some customers have mentioned receiving an older version of the kit instead of the current one.

The stock colors of the base pieces are grey and red but may require painting if and when a modeler wants that 34authentic34 look from the movie or cartoons
