This kit is the Dimensional Submarine UX-01, released as No. 19 in the Mecha Collection Yamato 2199 series. It was released in 2013 as 1/1000 Gamilas Warship Set No. 3and was included at 1/1000 scale. It's only slightly smaller, but the overall detail and sculpt quality came out very similar.
Other than one small barrel that can rotate, there aren't really any other moving parts, so you can just sit back and appreciate the overall proportions and the detail work. Honestly, it's not that different from the 1/1000 version, which does make you wonder why they bothered releasing it as a Mecha Collection kit. That said, it's nice that it comes in a size that fits a bit better alongside the other Mecha Collection series. If the 1/1000 Dimensional Submarine UX-01 felt like too much of a commitment since it only came in a set, building the more affordable Mecha Collection version is definitely worth considering. :-)
