+This set contains the main UN Cosmo fleet ships as seen in the opening episode of Space Battleship Yamato 2199 - which took a heavy beating to distract the attacking Garmillas fleet from the real intention (to prepare the Yamato for launch).
+The size of models included is on the smaller side, compared to many of the other 1/1000 scale releases - it feels a little cheap with just one small model each of the UN cruiser and destroyers, for example; surely it wouldn't have cost much more to include either a second example of each?

+Included in the set are the battleship Kirishima, the cruiser Murasame and the destroyer Yukikaze - and a //tiny// 1/1000 scale Type 100 Recon fighter which docks with the Kirishima. As a bonus, not pictured, is one of the old (purple) Garmillas Astro Carriers - a fairly simple, none-scale-matching kit, but still a nice inclusion.

 === Paints Used ===
-Most of the paint colours recommended for the [[:blog:models:yamato:index|Space Battleship Yamato 2199 / 2202]] series of kits are from Gunze / GSI Creos / Mr Color range, which are hard to source in the UK. In addition, most of the [[blog:models:yamato:index#paint_list|original paint sets]] are bespoke to the line and are out of production. The Cosmo Navy Combined Set #1 largely uses paint set CS882:
