Alongside the recently released 1/72 Cosmo Zero.
The gap in both scale and detail really makes you feel how much time has passed.

Together with the bonus warships that came with the previous set.

Following the Yamato 1/1000 Combined Cosmo Fleet Set 1, Set 2 has now been released. That said, looking at the contents, it's a pretty straightforward color variant kit — you get 2 color variants of the Murasame and 2 color variants of the Yukikaze from Set 1. Though perhaps to make up for the lack of any new parts, they did throw in the old-kit Cosmo Zero as a bonus.

As mentioned above, this is a pure color variant with absolutely no new parts, so there's not much new to look at — just enjoy the photos and see what color combinations they went with. And besides, other than the gun barrel, there's no articulation whatsoever in this kit anyway.

The bonus old-kit Cosmo Zero brought back some distant memories of building it ages ago, but having just finished the latest 1/72 Cosmo Zero not long before, the gap in time really hit hard with this one. ^^;

Anyway, with the bonus kit included you're getting a pretty generous total of 5 aircraft, but the lack of anything genuinely new makes it a tough sell for anyone who isn't a die-hard fan. That said, the kit itself is still a fun build in that classic Bandai sci-fi kit style. :-)
