Yamamoto is a brand of detail accessories for scale model cars and military vehicles. Most of its range is in 1/24 scale, with smaller selections in 1/35 and 1/48, and nearly all parts are cast in resin. The catalogue is dominated by car and truck projects, with a noticeable group of parts for military vehicles and dioramas.
The Yamamoto range is built around upgrade parts that fit into existing kits rather than complete model kits. Typical items include resin wheels and tracks, detail sets for the engine bay and cockpit, exhausts and intakes, stowage and equipment, and small electrical boxes for dioramas. Subjects follow the car and tank models modellers actually build, among them the Panther, Tiger I, BMW, Mazda and AC Schnitzer Type II, along with designations such as Ymptun51, Ymptun8 and Ymptun91. The brand also offers flocking powders and wire for finishing work.
Yamamoto parts are a practical choice for adding realistic detail to a build without changing the kit itself. You can browse the full Yamamoto range below.
