These two Yamatos Battleships ships were customized from two 1/200 scale Nicihmo kits (motorized Version)Sea trials on a deep lake damn. Even tough the water was windy & rough, The Weight of the ship (heavy) was well maintaind and kept its place nice & steady. It was hammered by heavy waves but returned ,was not harmed and ruled the waves.
