The Dreadnought kit represents the one of the main Earth battleship classes from the Yamato 2202 series (season 2 of the show). It's supposed to be a mass-produced battleship with similar (and improved) capabilities of the Yamato itself. The first of the class was called the Dreadnought (just like the real-world British ship), with subsequent models all retaining a D-prefixed name; Devastation, Dominion, Diamond, etc.

It builds to around 25cm in length when completed:

I originally wanted to find the Dreadnought - Mars Defence Set, which has two colour-changed variants of the kit, but it was long out of stock everywhere.

This original kit includes a couple of LED modules to light up various parts of the model, plus a set of tiny fighters to display on the stand.
