At the peril of being seen as argumentative,
that is not correct. In order to be minifig-
scale, it would have to be between 27 and 30
*feet* in length, perhaps a touch longer.
_Takao_ was 13'0" in length, and was still
"compressed" by about 35% from MF scale. A
minifig, in height, is roughly 1/35 (more in
width), thus the ~950' Yamato would need to be
about 30' in length, all else being equal.
It looks to be, at most, about 1/3 that. So
it's not quite that big, but good LORD is it
ever *beautiful*. I'm especially impressed
with the superstructure and turret details.
The red full-hull is also really well done.
Not that a minifig-scale Yamato wouldn't be
a great rainy-day project, though...*whistling
innocently*
