Not bad. Yamato is one of my favorite battleships, but the Iowa class battleships are in first place in my list of favorite battleships! I especially love the USS Missouri.
Shiden Kai - her ( Yamato ) myth was far bigger then her actual history ! The one and only chance to engage, and she withdraws from a escort carrier group, after having three heavy cruisers sunk by the escort group ! Then she goes on her one-way suicide mission but never arrives due to the aircraft interception of her group which resulted in her sinking. The material put into building Yamato and her sister would have been better spent on aircraft carriers !
Hello Mr. Kai Sir, I really enjoyed your videos on the different types of ships you built. Do you think in the very near future you could do a detailed step-by-step building of these kits as your explaining how the kit comes to life. Thank You for taking the time to read my questions and comments. Sincerely Allan
The problem with Unimax Forces of Valor series is that compared to die-cast models of other manufactures (including Dragon, Hobby Master, and several others), the models are rather weak in details because they do not use photo edged , metal and polystyrene parts for the smaller items and thus certain parts are out of true proportions. For example, gun barrels for the secondary and tertiary armaments, masts, railings etc. are way too thick. People seldom assemble their own models anymore, but if you do, then for ships, the Tamiya 1: 700 or even the old Airfix 1:600 ship series would give much finer details than the Unimax series. The Unimax ship series are quite accurate in the painting schemes though, and even had different issues for the Yamato class and Tirpitz class in various years.
Krzysztof Kamiński yamato was wider, heavier, more armored, Heavily firepowered, and fast considering the fact its faster than any Battleships that was twice lighter.
Chaos Craft999 - Yamato at 27 knots top speed was the slowest of all the major battleships, Iowa class was 33 knots, Bismarck and Tirpitz at 30.8 knots - and as for armored Bismarck and Tirpitz took far more damage before sinking ( Tirpitz took 3 12,000 lb Tallboy bombs dropped from over 10,000 feet ) than Yamato, yet Bismarck and Tirpitz NEVER blew up... as Yamato did ! So all Yamato turned out to be was a paper tiger, whose myth was bigger that what she did in action!
Peter 1808 - sorry Charlie but Yamato took far less punishment than either Bismarck and Tirpitz - Bismarck from heavy shelling from 16in down to destroyer guns at ranges from 20,000 + down to point blank range of 5,000 yards PLUS multiple torpedoes and finally the Germans scuttled her. Tirpitz had three limpet mines detonate underneath her , then came the 3 tall boy bombs ( 6 tons each ) and yet she stayed afloat for 15 minutes before capsizing and sinking. Furthermore neither Bismarck nor Tirpitz blew up but both Yamato and her sister ship did !
According to Akira Yoshimura, from his book, 'Build the Musashi', she was The Palace, not hotel, that was only designated by Yamato's crew. Gambier Bay is a Casablanca class escort carrier, not an Independence class light carrier. I also own this, and think that it is a good representation of the battleship. A few things that need correcting, the aircraft that is mounted on the stern, never served on Yamato, they only made the single aa mount with no stand, this is laying on the deck, and the aa mounts on the two main guns shouldn't be rounded, but angled. This battleship is my personal favourite, and I own several books, even the 2005 film about her, and a few models of Yamato, and one of Musashi. I also have Enterprise from Forces of Valor, as well as Gear Box's modern Diecast USS New Jersey. Take care, and all the best.
Hey Joe - Yeah. I think I'm gunna have to. It'll be awhile until I'm in a position to do so - but once I do, I think that Graf Spee has my name alllll over it.
I build a ship that has 21.5 lnch guns and nine feet of armor and it could survive a hell of a battle and lf you see it and your sailing a warship smaller like 20.000 tons than you will have no choice but run lf possible and she weights 296.000 tons and that big for a battleship
In the last year's of the 22nd century, a group of desperate humans resurrect the long sunken Hulk of.the.battleship Yamoto. and out of the ruins emerges Space cruiser Yamoto!!!.(yes , I watched cartoons as a kid.)
Yeah man new owner and everything. Have a read though this blog for more info. Also check out their FB page for updates blog.themotorpool.net/tag/forces-of-valor/
Emily Geolina correction actually if you want to get down to the exact millimetre is 18.11 inches, you should probably do your research before you post things like this, this is how false information gets spread
The Iowas are only still around because they never saw any real action, and were never put in any danger. The most damage they took was a single Kamikaze, and the most powerful ship they saw was a training cruiser armed with 5.5 inch guns. USS Texas survives the war, does that mean that she can beat Yamato, no. IJN Mikasa is still around, but she would never stand a chance. Just because a ship survived the war doesn’t mean it was better than a ship that sunk
Sorry for the delayed response Jose. Right now, your best bet is to check on sites like Amazon, Ebay, or to rely on excess stock from retailers. Unfortunately, this line seems to have been discontinued. :(
The fact that these look so huge even in 1/700 tells you just how big this baby was.
The paint scheme was accurate for the battle of Leyte Gulf. It was blackened to help mask her, but later on the blackening was lost for Ten-ichi-go.
Not bad. Yamato is one of my favorite battleships, but the Iowa class battleships are in first place in my list of favorite battleships! I especially love the USS Missouri.
Hey Jared. Yeah, my bias errs towards the Iowa class as well. :D :D Just the same, the Yamato was a beast that still commands respect!

its a prebuilt set he says in another video that he cant build and therefore he buys them forces of valor
I have subbed to your channel. I just like the history of World War I and World War 2-era battleships and other naval ships from those time periods.
how much was it? Cuz it's SO cool! Yamato is my favorite battleship! :D
@KMS BISMARCK 1264 lmao

You should try the Tamiya 1/350 scale
Yamato was the largest battleship in the world, but the longest were Missouri and Iowa. A little trivia : )
Krzysztof Kamiński yamato was wider, heavier, more armored, Heavily firepowered, and fast considering the fact its faster than any Battleships that was twice lighter.
Chaos Craft999 - Yamato at 27 knots top speed was the slowest of all the major battleships, Iowa class was 33 knots, Bismarck and Tirpitz at 30.8 knots - and as for armored Bismarck and Tirpitz took far more damage before sinking ( Tirpitz took 3 12,000 lb Tallboy bombs dropped from over 10,000 feet ) than Yamato, yet Bismarck and Tirpitz NEVER blew up... as Yamato did ! So all Yamato turned out to be was a paper tiger, whose myth was bigger that what she did in action!
Yet again, yamato took way more hits from torpedos and bombs
Peter 1808 - sorry Charlie but Yamato took far less punishment than either Bismarck and Tirpitz - Bismarck from heavy shelling from 16in down to destroyer guns at ranges from 20,000 + down to point blank range of 5,000 yards PLUS multiple torpedoes and finally the Germans scuttled her.

What are the scales of your models
Where did u get them?I want one🙁
According to Akira Yoshimura, from his book, 'Build the Musashi', she was The Palace, not hotel, that was only designated by Yamato's crew.
Gambier Bay is a Casablanca class escort carrier, not an Independence class light carrier.
I also own this, and think that it is a good representation of the battleship. A few things that need correcting, the aircraft that is mounted on the stern, never served on Yamato, they only made the single aa mount with no stand, this is laying on the deck, and the aa mounts on the two main guns shouldn't be rounded, but angled.
This battleship is my personal favourite, and I own several books, even the 2005 film about her, and a few models of Yamato, and one of Musashi.
I also have Enterprise from Forces of Valor, as well as Gear Box's modern Diecast USS New Jersey.
Take care, and all the best.
I/1250 scale?
UK? if is plz let me know
Im really excited to preorder the yamato
Can you put a link in the description to the website you get these from?
the second yamto was really her sister ship Musashi.
the ship in the back isn't really Musashi its another Yamato model but in a different color sceem
Can you buy it at the lazada or amazon
where did u get the light gray forces of valor yamato
Where do i buy this
Do some reviews on the eaglemoss ships they are good models
Hey Joe - Yeah. I think I'm gunna have to. It'll be awhile until I'm in a position to do so - but once I do, I think that Graf Spee has my name alllll over it.
did Yamato attack Taffy 3? is that how Yamato sank?
Yes she did, but then she dodged torpedos, and never got back into the fight.
She did not sink when they fought taffy 3
is one Yamato and one Musashi
They were sister ships. Both sunk. This model he has is the Yamato.
Their both Yamato
@@CalladoMC And the so called Operation Ten go is not that accurate.
She was sunk in 1945 musashi sunk in the battle of leyte gulf of sibuyan sea in 1944
Gluten tag. Well... if the Yamato sinks in 10 seconds? How will it battle against the U.S Navy?
Glorious State Of Arstotzka not 10 sec. More like 5 hrs
I build a ship that has 21.5 lnch guns and nine feet of armor and it could survive a hell of a battle and lf you see it and your sailing a warship smaller like 20.000 tons than you will have no choice but run lf possible and she weights 296.000 tons and that big for a battleship
They are so beautiful
very nice review
72,800 tones to be exact :)
Peter Menzel 820000 full
In the last year's of the 22nd century, a group of desperate humans resurrect the long sunken Hulk of.the.battleship Yamoto. and out of the ruins emerges Space cruiser Yamoto!!!.(yes , I watched cartoons as a kid.)
When are you gonna post a new vid?
What about musashi
Yea me two
18.1 inch
sushi vlogs actually it's 18.11 inches
Yes
Will they float?
Sure. For about 10 seconds. And then they will sink very quickly. :D :D
Wow
@@hiredugarn1 😆
I want one !!!
Can these battleships float in real time?
in real time yes
The Yamato is about $70 in the us
Rhysmurphy Murphy what Yamato
The first one is more historical accurate, the second one with light grey is odd, it looks good but looks too much like American paint scheme.
FOV are re releasing in the new year.
Really? Haven't heard of that yet. If so, that's awesome!
Yeah man new owner and everything. Have a read though this blog for more info. Also check out their FB page for updates
blog.themotorpool.net/tag/forces-of-valor/
Shiden Kai how did you get that battleship? did you buy it
do the turt turn
I like yamato bow but it just like space yamato bow.
Wow, I wonder why the bow of Yamato looks like the bow of Space Battleship Yamato.
Probably because they're the same ship.
63.000 tons
72,000*
U cna easily jaut remove some of the AA and add different and call it musashi
:| 4 years ago :|
i wanna know why did this guy stop uploading
new forces of valor models!!!
5 18 inch guns
9x 18.1
Yamato has a 20 inch artillery gun
Emily Geolina correction actually if you want to get down to the exact millimetre is 18.11 inches, you should probably do your research before you post things like this, this is how false information gets spread
Battle of Samar
It's pronounced as Sa-mar
IJN ATAGO
...
It tok 12 bomb 3 torpedoes
The Yamato had such a weak death, almost as weak as the Executor class star destroyer.
William Grand the executor lost power , that explosion was bigger than it looks
An A-wing crashed into the bridge and took it out...
William Grand it lost power to engines, and went to the closest object with large gravity
are you there
yamato is pronounced YA-MA-TOE not ya--ma--doe lol
clearly not designed well enoug, as it is at the bottom of the sea....and ALL of the IOWA class are museums!!
except for Kentucky and Illinois witch both of these ships where cancelled and scrapped
