Bandai 1/500 Space Battleship Yamato

Yes that's right fans, I am going to do the 1.500 starblazers yamato. A favourite cartoon of mine when I was young, I couldn't resist this big box when I saw it in the hobby shop. Truth be known I've been thinking about getting one for many years, but have never been able to find one. I know its something completely different from by 1/72 aircraft fetish, but I think its time for a break and do something completely different. This version is the latest tooling from Bandai, cost me $179AUD which is huge but I have heard great things about the quality.
