Bandai 1:1000 Deusula the 2nd Core Ship

I've got to admit, in the whole line of Bandai's Yamato 2199 model kits, this one is probably the least appealing to me, or that was the case until I opened the box, and saw what I was in for. First it's much smaller than I had originally predicted. I knew based on the display stand in the pictures that it was going to be a smaller kit, but it's pretty tiny. Still I'm not letting that deter me from what is looking like a very fun project. 

A closer look at this kit shows that it's a sophisticated and very well engineered kit. The Ship is molded in multi-colored parts, for those who want a quick build. For those wanting to take the kit to a further level you've got that too, lots of recessed panel lines and based on Bandai kits I've build in the past I'm guessing very good fits. 

The Core Ship is designed to fit into ta bigger battle ship, they do provide a picture of it, but there isn't one available in 1000 scale, although a few have made the comment that one is on the way, due to the success of the 1:1000 Domelaze. However I've yet to hear this confirmed by Bandai, It would be a really cool project and I do hope will be a reality in the future.

The kit also comes with 2 Mecha kits, the DDG 110 (Me 110) Both kits are the usual grand engineering. They resemble SR-71 Blackbirds, which is a cool perk, and have decals. Again I was sceptical about this kit, but now that I've seen and studied it I'd love to build it, just goes to show that you don't judge a book or model kit by it's cover.

Bandai 1:1000 Pormelia Class Astro Carrier

If you recall to the 70's when Star Wars came out for the first time and became a hit phenomena. Everyone had to have everything Star Wars. Well at the time Kenner, had the license for the franchise and realized the huge demand for these figures. And they began to make every figure! I think everyone has a Pruneface figure, and until a few months ago I didn't even believe that he was in the movie, well Bandai has kinda dome something similar.

The Promelia Astro Assault Carrier, doesn't exactly have a long part in the series, but a memorable one. In Episode 2 this ship is seen attacking the Yamato, while it's undercover on the Earth. It fires a beam from it's center, also releasing the DWG 229 attack fighters. Th instructions also show a blue version, but I cannot remember which episode this version was featured. The paint diagram features only the Green version.

Bandai did a fantastic job on this kit, as usual. And as usual it's molded in seperate colors for those who wish to simply build and display the kit. For those who want to take it a lever further Banadi included a lot of great detail. It also includes two 1:1000 DWG 229's. But there's no display stand for them, or any other way to pose them.

The Mecha kit is really cool a DWG 229. What I really like with the Garmilla fighters, is that they are named after German WWII aircraft. The Gotha 229, or "Flying Wing" was clearly the inspiration for the DWG 229, borrowing the same numbers. I nice little addition. The kit it pretty big and features a lot of detail, I'm eager to build this one up. It also has it's own little display stand.

This is a big kit. The D part Dome is a Mammoth in it's size and thick plastic. And a metal rod is included for the display stand, it's gratefully needed. I don't think this kit is on everyone's list but it's definitely worth it!
