Conquer the waves with Bancroft, the world’s premier RC Boat brand available exclusively at Motion RC!

The Imperial Japanese super-battleship “Yamato” and her sister ship “Musashi” were the largest floating weapons deployed in World War 2. Built under intense secrecy, the Yamato became a symbol of defiance as the Allies closed in around the island country that had once threatened Pacific domination.

Bancroft’s Elite Series of warships continues with the 1/200 scale Battleship Yamato. Display this museum piece on your mantle or astonish your RC boat club with this functional RTR (Ready to Run) RC battleship. Over 400 total parts and 100 man-hours of work are already completed for you. Delivered Ready to Run (RTR), the vessel can be sailing within minutes of arrival, using the included 2.4Ghz radio transmitter and 2s Li-Ion battery. Only four AA batteries and minimal final assembly is required.

Removable Turrets The Yamato's fully detailed main turrets can be easily positioned for static display or removed for transport or further customizing. Each main turret's barrels can be positioned up and down independently.

Easy Access Electronics Bay The Yamato's primary superstructure is molded around one central piece that can be easily removed with one hand. To access the hull interior, the entire superstructure is pulled cleanly off of the deck.

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 Yamato'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!

RTR - Ready To Run A 2.4Ghz radio system is included and pre-installed, as are all internal electronics. A primary battery and charger are also included. Simply charge the included primary battery with the included charger, then insert your AA batteries into the radio transmitter to begin sailing!

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 Yamato can be transported laid sideways across the width of a standard sedan, or displayed on a ~60" shelf.
