2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: ``Kashino'' is a turret carrier designed to transport the 46cm guns of the Yamato-class battleships, and was completed in July 1940. The main feature of this ship is its three huge hatches, which allowed it to carry two extremely heavy 46cm triple guns at once. Another feature was that it was equipped with a foreign-made high-temperature, high-pressure canister for practical experiments. From October to November 1941, the Kashino carried out the mission of transporting the turret of the battleship Musashi from the Kure Arsenal to the Nagasaki Shipyard. After that, she was engaged in transporting materials, and in September 1942, she was sunk by a torpedo attack by the U.S. submarine Growler west of Okinawa. The supply ship that carried the main guns of the super-heavy Yamato-class battleship Musashi from Kure to Nagasaki is now available as a plastic kit. Contains 1 ship. Offshore/full hull model selection formula. Plastic model kit (unassembled/unpainted). [Set contents] Parts of the Yamato type 46cm main turret (partially reproduced inside) including the ammunition chamber are included. (From Amazon.co.jp)
