This kit includes 2 clear joint parts as new molds.
These aren't for Mecha Collection — they're parts for the 1/1000 Yamato battleship.

This kit is the Earth Federation main battleship Dreadnought-class Dreadnought, released as No. 13 in the Mecha Collection Yamato 2202 series. In practice, the contents are essentially the same as the gray Dreadnought included in the previously released Mecha Collection Earth Federation Main Battleship
Dreadnought-class Set 1and Set 2 — though it does come with a bonus: clear joint parts for the 1/1000 scale.

Since the main body is completely identical to the previous releases, in this review you really just need to take a close look at the new-mold joint parts. Using these clear joint parts, you can attach two 1/1000 Dreadnoughts to either side of a 1/1000 Andromeda-class battleship, which makes it great for recreating scenes from the show.

So if the two-pack Dreadnought sets felt like too much of a commitment, this kit with just one ship at roughly half the price should be just right. And if you've been collecting the 1/1000 battleships, the new joint parts are a nice added bonus. Either way, the Dreadnought has a pretty sleek design, so if the look appeals to you, it's a fun little kit worth picking up. :-)
