Borrow Tug Kenny's wife, she's used to carrying all his heavy models.

Welcome aboard.

We require plenty of photos of the build.(http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p8/DickyD_photos/drinking25.gif)

Try Dragon USA, advertised as with English.
or as an alternative, Amazon have The Battleship Yamato ( anatomy of the ship )

Richard

BUY YOURSELF A HERNIA TRUSS!! {-) {-) {-) {-)

Seriously, there is one for sale on ebay, and it's a beauty.....you might want to contact the owner as to getting some shots from him of his model as a help.
also i once had the book Anatomy of the Ship..Yamato, and it is a superb publication..sadly never got round to building.....too big in the end for me.

neil.

below is link to one on ebay.
