{"product_id":"yamato-class-battleship-2465-pcs","title":"Yamato-class Battleship | 2465 Pcs","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBuild the Yamato-class Battleship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaunched in 1941, the IJN Yamato stood as the heaviest and most powerfully armed battleship ever commissioned, a titan of naval engineering whose displacement exceeded 72,000 tonnes at full load. Conceived under the imperial doctrine of decisive fleet engagement, she carried nine 46 cm main guns housed in three triple turrets — armaments of a scale never matched before or since on any warship. Her armoured belt, exceeding 400 mm at its thickest, represented the pinnacle of interwar metallurgical and structural ambition. The Yamato-class Battleship captured in this 2,465-piece advanced building kit honours that extraordinary legacy with a model of considered architectural fidelity. She remains one of the most studied and admired warships in naval history, a symbol of engineering ambition at the furthest extreme of the battleship era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eArchitecture \u0026amp; Bricks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery element of this 2,465-piece build is engineered to reward methodical assembly, with the hull divided into logical fore, midship, and stern sub-assemblies that reflect the actual structural sections of the full-scale vessel. The superstructure rises in discrete, stackable modules — pagoda mast, bridge tower, and funnel casing — each interlocking with precision that maintains rigidity across the completed model. The triple main turrets are individually constructed and positioned to replicate the exact fore-and-aft arrangement of the original ship's armament layout. A universal brick-compatible system underpins every connection point, ensuring that the building logic remains consistent and satisfying throughout. The layered approach to hull construction creates genuine depth and hull-form curvature, lending the finished model a silhouette of unmistakable authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMechanical Mastery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilders working through the 5 to 8 hour construction journey will encounter a rewarding progression from the broad sweep of the lower hull to the intricate topside detailing of the superstructure and armament. The pagoda-style bridge tower demands careful sequential assembly, with each platform tier locking precisely into the one below to form a stable, multi-storey structure that faithfully evokes the Yamato's distinctive profile. The secondary gun emplacements and anti-aircraft battery positions are rendered with individual component detail, requiring focused placement that deepens appreciation of the ship's defensive complexity. Deck planking is achieved through consistent brick-laying sequences that develop a builder's rhythm and tactile confidence with the system. Each completed section reveals how the designers have balanced historical accuracy with structural soundness, a genuinely instructive challenge for the advanced builder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDisplay Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 66.5 cm in length, 14.5 cm in beam, and 29.5 cm in height, the completed model commands considerable shelf or desk presence, conveying genuine scale authority without requiring a dedicated display case. The 1:500 scale is consistent with naval modelling convention, placing the Yamato alongside serious collector references and making her proportions immediately legible to the informed eye. The principal colourway of battleship grey across the hull and superstructure is punctuated by the warm ochre of the funnel and the dark teak-tone of the deck planking, producing a composition that reads with quiet sophistication. Her 29.5 cm height — encompassing the full pagoda mast — ensures she dominates any surface she occupies, drawing the eye in precisely the way the original vessel dominated the horizon. This is a collector-grade centrepiece equally suited to a dedicated naval display or a broader engineering collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs-box\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 66.5 cm x 14.5 cm x 29.5 cm (Length, Width, Height) \/ 26.2 in x 5.7 in x 11.6 in (Length, Width, Height)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Advanced\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuild time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-8 hours\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"key-features\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2,465-piece advanced build\u003c\/strong\u003e — A substantial brick count that delivers a physically impressive, structurally robust model suited to experienced builders seeking a serious challenge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1:500 naval scale\u003c\/strong\u003e — Engineered to the standard naval modelling convention, capturing the Yamato's enormous proportions with fidelity across hull, superstructure, and armament.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTriple main gun turrets\u003c\/strong\u003e — All three triple-barrelled 46 cm main turrets are individually assembled and positioned to replicate the historical fore-and-aft layout of the original battleship.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePagoda bridge tower\u003c\/strong\u003e — The iconic multi-tiered superstructure is constructed in sequential platform layers, faithfully reproducing the Yamato's most recognisable profile feature.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModular hull sub-assemblies\u003c\/strong\u003e — The hull is divided into fore, midship, and stern sections for logical, progressive construction that mirrors the structural logic of the full-scale vessel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary and anti-aircraft armament detail\u003c\/strong\u003e — Individual component placement across the secondary gun batteries and AA emplacements rewards close inspection and deepens historical engagement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeck planking sequence\u003c\/strong\u003e — A disciplined, repeating brick-laying pattern renders the teak-toned main deck with visual texture and satisfying rhythmic assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollector-grade colourway\u003c\/strong\u003e — Battleship grey hull and superstructure, ochre funnel detail, and warm deck tones combine into a palette of understated, historically grounded sophistication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommanding display footprint\u003c\/strong\u003e — At 66.5 cm long and 29.5 cm tall, the finished model delivers unambiguous shelf authority, making it a natural centrepiece for any naval or engineering collection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover more in our \u003ca href=\"\/fr-fr\/collections\/ships\"\u003eShips\u003c\/a\u003e collection or \u003ca href=\"\/fr-fr\/collections\/new-arrivals\"\u003enew arrivals\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShare your build on Instagram and tag @powerbrickz to join the community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePower Brickz — Epic builds start here.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Power Brickz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57807642886408,"sku":"JIESTAR 58278","price":133.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/7447\/3224\/files\/imgi_244_imageName1777460672310.webp?v=1778583477","url":"https:\/\/powerbrickz.com\/fr-fr\/products\/yamato-class-battleship-2465-pcs","provider":"Power Brickz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
