Right off the bat, the IJN Nagato model, as crafted by Uriy Rassohin, commands attention. At a 1:350 scale, Hasegawa’s kit absolutely brings out the fine details, and the precision in the paint job is remarkable. The neatness of the assembly highlights Uriy’s skill, making the ship look both grand and cohesive. The subtle weathering gives it a nice aged appearance without being overdone, hinting at years braving the ocean waves.
Thinking about the real Nagato, there’s something fascinating about its history. This battleship played significant roles during World War II, and from what I’ve read, it was one of the few Japanese ships to survive the conflict, only to meet its end during atomic bomb testing at Bikini Atoll. Imagining this model in real scenarios adds a certain depth to the build.
The rigging fascinated me too, appearing delicate and precise, requiring a steady hand and a keen eye for detail. Whoever has done this has a true knack for making miniature look mighty. The small radar and weaponry placements are also quite impressive, requiring meticulous work to get just right. You can tell this wasn’t a weekend project.
I really appreciate how the paint reflects the actual colors used on warships of that era. It’s not just the massive guns or the imposing size that stand out; it’s the little things that really make you pause and appreciate the craftsmanship.
With this Nagato model, the combination of historical representation and artistic execution makes it a standout. What I love most is how Uriy managed to capture both the might and the majesty of the original ship on such a small scale. It’s an incredible nod to history and artistry, bringing the battleship back to life in a new way.
