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. There's also the combination [[:blog:models:yamato:gelvades|battleship/carrier "Darold"]].

The difference between the carriers are:

   * Balgray - green colour; carries DWG-109 //Debake// air-to-air fighters __and__ DMB-87 //Snuka// dive bombers
   * Lambea - purple colour; carries the DMB-87 //Snuka// dive bombers
   * Schderg - blue colour; carries the FWG-97 //Doshira// torpedo bombers. The 'earliest' design in the series, and without the angled flight deck.

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]].

Just like the Balgray and Lambea; this is a __big__ kit when complete - almost //16 inches// long!
