Together with the 1/1000 Yamato 2199.

This kit is the Space Battleship Yamato 2199, released as No. 1 in the Mecha Collection Yamato 2199 series. It's a small kit around 10cm in length, packed with fine detail despite its size — you can build it as a neat little precision miniature.

It's only natural that the first release in the series is the star of the show, Yamato 2199. Even the side gun turrets that are so characteristic of the Yamato are sculpted in impressive detail, and the basic color separation is well executed. The parts are small to match the overall size, so trimming the gates and fitting everything together can be a little fiddly, but the snap-fit works well so assembly isn't too difficult. As for moving parts, the three main gun turrets can rotate.

There aren't really any special gimmicks beyond that, so this is a kit where you just sit back and appreciate all the little details up close. Whether you're a Yamato fan or just someone who loves mecha in general, it seems like a kit you can enjoy without any pressure. :-)
