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.

Most of the paint colours recommended for the 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 original paint sets are bespoke to the line and are out of production. The Cosmo Navy Combined Set #1 largely uses colours YC04, YC05 and YC06 from paint set CS882:
