| One of the four Garmillas space carrier models from the Yamato 2199 series. There are two other similar carriers to this one - the green [[:blog:models:yamato:balgray|"Balgray"]], and the purple [[:blog:models:yamato:lambea|"Lambea"]], both of which are more or less identical - other than the fighters they carry. There's also the combination [[:blog:models:yamato:gelvades|battleship/carrier "Darold"]]. | One of the four Garmillas space carrier models from the Yamato 2199 series. There are two other similar carriers to this one - the green [[:blog:models:yamato:balgray|"Balgray"]], and the purple [[:blog:models:yamato:lambea|"Lambea"]], both of which are more or less identical (virtually the same parts except flight deck designs and colours) - other than the fighters they carry.

| The kit includes the carrier, plus to-scale fighters to arrange on the light deck(s) (though at 1/1000 scale they are tiny!). Also included is a larger, non-scale version of one of the fighters to display alongside. | The kit includes: |
| | |
| | * The //Schderg// carrier |
| | * 21x //Doshira// 1/1000 scale torpedo bombers |
| | * //and// 21x //Dabake// 1/1000 scale fighters |
| | * //and// 36x //Snuka// 1/1000 scale dive bombers |

| | With every variation of carrier-based fighter included, you could model the //Schderg// with any combination of aircraft loadout. |
| | |
| | Also included is a larger, non-scale version of one of the //Doshira// torpedo bombers to display alongside - it really is quite a large 'little' model. Whilst it is supposed to be around 30 metres in length in reality (compared to 18 metres for the others fighters) it's produced in a scale that actually makes it //almost// as big as the [[:blog:models:yamato:gss_2202|Garmillas Kelkapia-class high speed cruiser]]. |
