This pair of models represents the two rudders of Imperial Japanese Navy battleships Yamato and Musashi, and aircraft carrier Shinano.
 
The models' overall shape and dimensions match scaled drawings published in the 2017 edition of  "Anatomy of the Ship: Battleships Yamato and Musashi" by Janusz Skulski and Stefan Draminski.  The shell plating and screwhead pattern detail are consistent with Janusz Skulski's line drawings and the real Musashi rudder as it appears in modern video and photos of the wreck published by Paul G. Allen in 2015.
 
No known plastic, paper card or wood model kit accurately captures shape of the real ships' rudders.  Depending on which kit you own, some adjustment to your plastic, paper card or wood kit's rudder skeg may be necessary for best fit.
 
Features:
accurate size and shape
accurate shell plating configuration
complete screwhead detail
zinc anode detail
