Visually, a wave motion gun sealing block and wings have been added to the front.
Everything else is the same as the original Yamato.

5 newly added aircraft.
From left to right: FS-type torpedo boat, Cosmo Seagull, Type-100 Space Reconnaissance Plane, Czvarke, and Ki-8 Type Combat Boat.

Placed on the display stand.

The carrier aircraft hangar unit is also the same as before.

In the end, the wings are probably the most noticeable change.

Comparison with the standard version (left).

Only the bow section and wings are different.

This kit is the 1/1000 Yamato 2199 Cosmo Reverse Ver., a variation that recreates the scene from the show where the Yamato returns to Earth carrying the Cosmo Reverse System.

There are only two differences from the standard version of the main hull — first, an orange wave motion gun block part, which was fitted in the show to seal the wave motion gun after the peace treaty, has been added to the front. And the only other difference is the addition of wings on both sides; otherwise, the overall appearance is no different from the original.

On top of that, 5 new aircraft have been added as accessories: the FS-type torpedo boat, Cosmo Seagull, Type-100 Space Reconnaissance Plane, Czvarke, and Ki-8 Type Combat Boat. The Cosmo Zero, Cosmo Falcon, and carrier aircraft hangar unit are included just like in the original.

It's billed as a variation to recreate a specific scene from the source material, but the differences are just too minor to really recommend it to anyone who's already built the standard 1/1000 Yamato. Since all the parts from the standard version are included anyway, it's a kit that's slightly more recommendable than the standard version for those who haven't built the 1/1000 Yamato yet. :-)
