Mecha Collection Yamato 2199 Series — All 20 Box & Group Shots

This kit is the Gaiderol-class Astro Battleship, released as No. 20 in the Mecha Collection Yamato 2199 series. It's a sleek, long, and slender ship in the typical Gamilas green color scheme. While the 1/1000 version came out quite large, in the standardized Mecha Collection scale it ends up on the smaller, more compact side compared to other kits in the lineup.

It's still a small yet impressively detailed kit, and the two-tone color separation gives it a pretty decent look even as a straight build. Even the tiny gun barrels are designed to rotate.

All in all, it stays true to the core concept of the Mecha Collection series and delivers nicely. This kit wraps up the full run of 20 Yamato 2199 Mecha Collection releases, and as you can see in the photos above, having them all together is quite a sight. Either way, if you're a fan of miniature warship kits, this is definitely one you'll have a good time with. :-)
