It's supposed to be a mass-produced battleship with similar (and improved) capabilities of the Yamato itself. The first of the class was called the Dreadnought (just like the real-world British ship), with subsequent models all retaining a D-prefixed name; //Devastation//, //Dominion//, //Diamond//, etc. It builds to around 25cm in length when completed: <imgcaption completed_a|Example of completed model.>{{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:dreadnought_1.jpg?400|}}</imgcaption> <imgcaption completed_b|Example of completed model.>{{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:dreadnought_2.jpg?400|}}</imgcaption> <imgcaption completed_c|Example of completed model.>{{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:dreadnought_3.jpg?400|}}</imgcaption> I originally wanted to find the [[:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought_mars|Dreadnought - Mars Defence Set]], which has two colour-changed variants of the kit, but it was long out of stock everywhere. This original kit includes a couple of LED modules to light up various parts of the model, plus a set of tiny fighters to display on the stand. ---- ==== Paints ==== === Colour Chart === There's no specific Mr.Color paint sets for this kit, but the instructions use Mr.Color/Mr.Hobby paint codes. Again, these are fairly difficult to source in the UK, so I'll be trying to match to alternative Vallejo, AK or MIG colours to make it easier. <imgcaption chart|Colour chart from mech9.com...>{{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:dreanought_colourchart.png?700|}}</imgcaption> * Sourced from: https://www.mech9.com/2024/02/bandai-11000-uncfd-1-dreadnought-color.html === Paints Used === ^ Section ^ Recommended Colour ^ Selected Colour ^ Notes ^ | Main hull | White (H1) +\\ Blue Gray (H42) +\\ Lime Green (H50); (50:30:20) | MIG Ammo A.MIG-228 Intermediate Blue\\ or\\ MIG Ammo A.MIG-062 French Blue\\ or\\ Vallejo Model Air 71.113 IDF Blue | All more 'blue' than the recommended Blue Gray (H42), will need possibly higher ratio of white adding. | | Main hull highlights | White (H1) +\\ IJN Gray (H61) +\\ Wood Brown (H37); (60:40:1) | Vallejo Model Air 71.119 White Grey\\ or\\ Vallejo Model Air 71.279 Insignia White | Duller white variants. | | Deck | Grey/Nezumi (H22) +\\ Black (H2); (70:30) | Undecided | | ==== Box Contents ==== === Box === A ghastly 'Star Blazers' sticker over the Japanese name, urgh. {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152253.jpg?500|}} === Instructions / assembly information === {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152317.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152325.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152329.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152339.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152342.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152349.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152353.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152400.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152403.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152413.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152417.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152423.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152427.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152434.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152438.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152445.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152449.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152455.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152500.jpg?200|}} {{:blog:models:yamato:dreadnought:img20251002152508.jpg?200|}} === Parts === === Decals === ==== In Progress Images ==== ==== Finished Images ==== ---- [[:blog:models:yamato:index|Back to Space Battleship Yamato series index]] blog/models/yamato/dreadnought.txt Last modified: 2025/10/02 15:30by john
