This is the S-Submarine, released as No. 3 in the Mecha Collection Ultraman series. True to the Mecha Collection style, it's neatly put together with just 16 parts. It comes molded in silver and red, and any missing colors from the design can be filled in with wet decals.

Being a submarine, it has a relatively simpler look compared to previous releases. You do get a feature where you can detach the lower wings to release the locking pins and then retract the upper periscope inside. On top of that, a smaller S-Submarine is included separately from the main body. You can disassemble it, insert it into the stand pillar, and then place the separately sold Mecha Collection Jet Beetleon top. This lets you recreate the scene of the S-Submarine docked beneath the Jet Beetle.

So while the main body's design and overall build are pretty straightforward, what makes this kit stand out is that it comes with two different sizes of the S-Submarine — one for the periscope gimmick and one for combining with the Jet Beetle. If you already have the Mecha Collection Jet Beetle, or you've always been interested in the S-Submarine's role in Ultraman, this is definitely a fun little kit to build. :-)
