1/72 Cosmo Falcon — alongside the Shinohara.

Alongside the Mecha Collection Cosmo Zero.

This kit is the Cosmo Falcon, released as No. 12 in the Mecha Collection Yamato 2199 series. Like the previously released Mecha Collection Cosmo Zero, it's a fighter miniature kit that's small but shows off impressive detail. It comes in Shinohara's distinctive blue color scheme, which has a lot more presence than the washed-out white of the Cosmo Zero.

The Cosmo Falcon's signature mouth shape is nicely rendered with a dedicated seal, and true to its fighter kit nature, it also comes with swappable landing gear and missiles. Unlike the Cosmo Zero where you had to glue the weapons on, the missile bay here is implemented as a snap-fit removable design.

Small as it is, this miniature plastic model is well done with solid fundamentals. If you're a fan of the Yamato or just enjoy fighter model kits, this seems like a great kit to build for a fun, casual build. :-)
