Yamato 1/1000

Yamato 2202 Yunagi Combined Cosmo Fleet

Kit Review

Straight build

A new Yamato 2202 release has arrived — the 1/1000 Earth Federation Space Battleship Yunagi Fleet Set. It's billed as a new product, but something about it looks oddly familiar. Look closely and you'll find it's completely identical in composition to the Allied Space Fleet Set 1 released in 2012, making this a 100% pure color variant with nothing changed but the molded colors.

Content-wise, it does represent the warships deployed in the 8th Gamilas Recapture Operation as depicted in the show, but all three included warships are structurally unchanged from their predecessors.

First, the largest ship, the Space Battleship Yunagi, shares the same composition as the Kirishima from Allied Space Fleet Set 1, while the Space Cruiser Interfield is identical to the Murasame from Set 1 and the Ibuki and Yakumo from Set 2. Finally, the smallest ship, the TB-107 Torpedo Boat, is the same as the Yukikaze from Set 1 and the Isokaze/Ayase from Set 2. Since this is purely a color variant kit, all there really is to appreciate is the updated color scheme.

That said, the small, densely packed details still make for an enjoyable build, so if you've never tried this series before, it's a clean, decent-quality kit that should be a fun time. Still, since there's nothing new about this "new" release, it's hard to recommend unless you're a die-hard Yamato fan. :-)
