They each have different designs, but since the molded colors are so simple, the differences don't really stand out all that much.

This is the Garmillas Warship Set 3, a combined kit featuring a total of 4 aircraft: the Meltoria-class Astro Assault Cruiser, the Dimensional Submarine UX-01, and the Space Fighter DWG252 Czvarke in both standard and Melda variants.

First up, the largest of the bunch — the Meltoria-class Astro Assault Cruiser — is roughly the same size as the warships in Set 1, and it's a solid, straightforward warship kit with decent assembly and detail. Other than the gun barrels on top and on the sides moving individually, there isn't a whole lot else to write home about. Like the previous kits, it's a single tone of green, which does make it feel a bit plain. That said, compared to the similarly-sized warships in Set 1, it does feel just a little more complex. ^^;

Next up, the petite Dimensional Submarine UX-01 is, true to its name, a submarine-style craft (think U-boat in particular). It's long and slender, but the two-tone color combo and the neatly packed detail make it a really cute-looking little thing.

Finally, the Space Fighter DWG252 Czvarke comes with two small craft — Melda's red unit and the standard green unit. They're identical in detail and construction, differing only in molded color. Despite using relatively few parts, it's a clean little spacecraft kit that manages to pack in some nicely layered, three-dimensional detail.

To wrap it up, compared to the previous sets this one has a bit more variety to it — it's a fun warship set where you get to build three different styles of craft: a large warship, a submarine, and a fighter. If you're not already a fan, these kits might all start looking the same after a while, but if you're a Yamato fan, you'll probably be pretty happy with all these warship kits keep rolling out. :-)
