This kit is the Prototype Space Combat Attack Aircraft Cosmo Python [Set of 2], released as No. 2 in the Mecha Collection Yamato 3199 DX series. Just like the Mecha Collection DX Type-1 Space Combat Attack Aircraft Cosmo Tiger II (Single-Seat/Two-Seat) [Set of 2]it's a bundle of two fighters in one box. It's a refreshingly all-new sculpt — the first in quite a while.
The design has a different feel from previous Yamato fighters, going for a futuristic fighter aesthetic in the style of Yukikaze. The color separation is solid, giving it a great-looking straight build right out of the box. By choosing between two upper parts, you can build it in either standard combat configuration or high-mobility configuration. The high-mobility version features a shorter nose and wings that angle upward a bit more — and since you get two of each, you can also build both units in the same configuration if you prefer. There aren't really any other moving parts to speak of, so just taking a good look at the photos to appreciate the overall look should be plenty.
All in all, this is a sharp, well-executed fighter miniature kit that's completely brand new. Whether you're a Yamato fan or just someone who enjoys this style of fighter model kit, it looks like a fun build. :-)
