Together with the Mecha Collection Cosmo Zero and Cosmo Falcon.

This kit is the Cosmo Tiger II (Single Seat Type), released as No. 9 in the Mecha Collection Yamato 2202 series. Following the Yamato 2199 series' Cosmo Zero, Cosmo Falconthis is the third Mecha Collection fighter to be released. It's molded entirely in a single gray color with relatively soft detail, giving it a somewhat plain appearance.

The basic concept is similar to the previous fighter kits, but the key difference is that there are no options whatsoever for attaching/detaching or swapping out landing gear or weapons. Personally I actually prefer this cleaner, simpler setup, but if you're someone who likes lots of options, that'll probably count against it. Also, rather than inserting a stand pin into a hole on the bottom, a special joint part grips the underside of the model instead. Thanks to this, there's no hole on the bottom, which makes the overall look a bit cleaner — though you do need to be careful, as the body can come loose from the stand if you bump it the wrong way.

With its somewhat plain appearance as described, this kit isn't really recommended for those who plan to just do a straight build. But if you're planning to paint it, the payoff before and after will be well worth it. The fact that wet decals are included instead of seals also suggests the design leans more toward the painting crowd. Either way, for fans of the Yamato fighters, this one's going to feel like a real treat. :-)
