Together with the Kirishima included in the 1/1000 United Space Fleet Set 1.

Together with the Mecha Collection Yukikaze.

This kit is the Kirishima, released as No. 10 in the Mecha Collection Yamato 2199 series. 1/1000 United Space Fleet Set 1It's the same ship that was included in that set, and this time it's been released as a compact Mecha Collection kit. Small as it is, the distinctive silhouette and details are well captured.

The overall feel is similar to the previously released Yukikaze, and the size is nearly identical. The distinctive color separation between the red upper hull and white lower hull is faithfully reproduced. The gun barrels on the top and bottom can rotate, but there are no other moving parts, so for this review you'll really just want to take a good look at the overall details. The design has a relatively simple silhouette, which does make it feel a bit plain compared to other Mecha Collection warships.

So while it may look simple at first glance, it's a miniature warship kit that delivers solid, no-frills quality. In particular, if you're a fan of submarine-style warships, this seems like a kit that'll be right up your alley. :-)
