The set includes plastic models of two legendary Japanese warships: the battleship Yamato and the cruiser Yahagi from the period of Operation Kikusui, which was a part of the famous Battle of Okinawa in 1945.

Historical Information

The Yamato was the most famous Japanese battleship and also the largest vessel of its class ever built. She entered service in 1941 and, together with the cruiser Yahagi (commissioned in 1943), formed the striking force of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Both ships participated in a desperate mission in the spring of 1945, during which they were sunk by American aircraft off the coast of Okinawa. Operation Kikusui was one of the last acts of the Japanese navy in World War II, symbolizing the devotion and sacrifice of the crews.
