Removable Turrets The Nagato'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 Nagato'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 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! |
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 Nagato can be transported laid sideways across the width of a standard sedan, or displayed on a ~60' shelf. |

Bancroft model boats are molded and hand finished using very intricate details and parts including metal, wood, plastic, and fiberglass. Because of their hand made nature, minor imperfections in the fiberglass, metalwork, or painting may exist. These potential imperfections will not affect the seaworthiness of the vessel or the overall scale boating experience. Bancroft scale RC boats are fragile so care should be taken when moving or transporting your model.
Some of the electronics in this Bancroft boat, including the Battery, ESC, Motor, and Receiver, are NOT intended to get wet; they are NOT water resistant. If any of these electronic components get wet and you attempt to operate your model, the water can cause an electrical short-circuit and void your warranty. In the rare instance that you get water inside your vessel, you should drain the water completely and allow all electronics to fully dry before attempting to operate your model.
