Older naval films receive praise for the effort put into physical ship models. Models obtained from builders could preserve detail that a digital reconstruction made from a drawing had to recreate. Tora! Tora! Tora! is included in the comparison, with its later date distinguished from the 1950s films. Repeated Yamato-like ships in Midway provide the contrasting complaint about copying a digital model across a fleet.
