One of the most amazing Battleships in world history has been honored with this fantastic build from I.P.M.SOL Member Erick Navas of Peru! One of the aspects I very much enjoy of this artists build is his attention to detail. Just beautiful work!

Here is what artist Erick Navas has to tell of this build…

El Super Yamato iba a ser el sucesor del mitico Yamato. De haberse culminado ni el Iowa ni su sucesor el Montana norteamericanos hubieran podido hacerle frente. Los Iowa y Montana norteamericanos tenian cañones de 406mm, los Yamato de 460mm y el Super Yamato iba a portar cañones de 508mm!

La Armada Imperial Japonesa habia optado por estos Super Yamato al tener desventaja numerica frente a las US Navy...

Built from the Trumpeter Kit, I.P.M.SOL Member and Artist Louis Carabott made a fantastic Museum “looking” display of the final piece! I am always impressed when an artist places the extra small details into their creations. This entire piece is full of those tiny details that so many often leave off simply to complete the build. Louis Carabott… you have done a fantastic job! As seen on the Dario Hector Gerlini’s I.P.M.SOL Facebook site, here is the Admiral Kuznetsov by Louis Carabott.
