Nagato 1/200 Scale 1125mm (44") Japanese Battleship from Bancroft - RTR (Ready to Run)
Admiral Yamamoto's Flagship
The Nagato-class battleships were a pair of dreadnought battleships (Nagato and Mutsu) built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during World War I. The Nagato served as the flagship for Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto during the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 that triggered American entrance into the Pacific War.

Pin-Sized Details Over 100 hours of handcrafted details are built at the factory using hundreds of fingernail sized brass Photo-Etched (PE) parts and larger sub-assemblies |
| Pre-Installed Superstructure Hundreds of hours of workmanship are done meticulously at the factory. Every sub-component is assembled from multiple materials, then detailed and painted by craftsmen. |

Genuine Wood Deck The Nagato's one-piece molded hull and deck is covered by a single large laser-cut and laser-etched genuine wood deck |
| Pre-Installed Rigging The bridge's many rigging lines are pre-installed at the factory. There remains just a few anchors for the user to position when he/she receives the model out of the box. Just one anchor is needed to be undone in order to service the interior of the boat. |

Photo-Etched Brass Foredeck Textured photo-etched (PE) foredeck and aftdeck is made of brass, pre-painted, and pre-installed. Amazingly sharp details are rendered in pin-sized resolution at 1/200 scale! |

1/200 Scale 1/200 scale is the ideal "Daily Driver" size for battleships, being the best balance between large size for stable sailing and high detail, and a lightweight hull for convenient transportability. With its 1310mm hull length, the Nagato can be transported laid sideways across the width of a standard sedan, or displayed on a ~60" shelf. |

The distinct "pagoda" style bridge elements make the Nagato instantly recognizable as an Imperial Japanese Navy vessel. Modeling the most notable IJN battleships all represented by Bancroft in the same 1/200 scale is an impressive feat and makes them fun to own and operate side by side. From the beginning stages of the war with this Nagato serving as Admiral Yamamoto's flagship to the end of the war with the Battleship Yamato, these vessels effectively bookend the beginning and end of the Imperial Japanese Navy's time in the sun.
