This is a variation of the 1/1200 Musai, released as Char's Musai. Since the only in-universe difference is the shape of the bridge with no structural changes, this kit likewise swaps out only the bridge parts.

So the Komusai recreation, overall proportions, and design are nearly identical, meaning you can just check the photos to spot what's changed compared to the standard version. Honestly, they could've just included both bridge variants in a single kit, but either way, this one's worth appreciating for adding a little more variety to the lineup. :-)
