  What does, Cosmo Reverse mean?

• 
  @grimjimcАй бұрын

  The Cosmo Reverse System is a device that will turn the ruined Earth back to how it was before the war with Garmilas started. It gets fitted to the Yamato on Iscandar in place of the Wave Motion Gun. So this kit is intended to depict the Yamato on its return journey to Earth.

  Just got this kit after making the Revell 1/90 Tie Fighter. I'd say that this kit is pretty much on par with the Revel kit if a little more detailed because of the larger scale. Your version however is far better than the studio miniature I have reference pictures of. I think I'll be painting mine with the Empire/Jedi blue/grey colour rather than the plain grey as I like the look better. Saying that as you get two kits in the box maybe I should do both versions?

  That sounds like a good idea. You could do one as a white ANH version, and the other as a green/grey ROTJ version. They would look interesting displayed side by side.

  This was indeed a thorough review Jim. Fun fact my grandparents both worked at the Consolidated plant here in Ft. Worth during the war which was one of the locations where the B-24 was made. It is now Lockheed decades later and is the site of the F-35 factory.

•

  It’s not a copy of the really old Dragon kit, and the detail is much better, but I imagine that there are only a few good ways to design a kit, so it does resemble the Dragon kit in some ways.

•

  As far as I know, the only manufactured 1/350 Andromeda kit is the part work from Hachette. It was only available in Japan and it finished a year or so ago, but you might maybe be able to find all of the issues for sale on an auction site… It will probably be very expensive though. Other than that, sorry, but I don’t know of one.

  Thank you for the step by step guide and tips! This was exactly what is useful and still engaging. It's been difficult to find many of the 2199 SB Yamato 1/1000 kits without overpaying. Even for the newer 2202 AAA Andromeda or Final Battle Yamato. Surprisingly, I got this kit and some others like the Ginga and Gelvades recently at steep discounts from Amazon and online Hobby shops. That doesn't bode well for reprinting of others if recent prints were stagnant stock.

  Thanks for the kind comment. It’s good to know that this format is useful to you. I agree about the price of the Yamato kits. A few of them do get reprinted from time to time, but the others are very hard to find now. I think that Bandai has pretty much given up on the franchise.

  Year after year at the Shizuoka Hobby Show, I asked the reps at Bandai to either include the waterslide decals in the Yamato mecha collection kits or at least offer them as aftermarket decals. Finally once they started the 2202 line, they began releasing these kits with decals. I'm sure I wasn't the only one pressuring them to finally make waterslides! Thanks for introducing me to the other channel. I just took a look and subscribed!

• 
  @grimjimc2 жыл бұрын

  Well, your efforts are appreciated anyway! I think that the pressure to aim the kits more at the adult market coincided with a decision to make the Mecha Colle range the main range for Yamato 2202 kits. Which is great for Mecha Colle builders but not so good for fans of their 1:1000 range. For the 2205 series, Bandai has released a paltry one kit! Glad you subscribed to Ben’s channel.

I mentioned this to them, and I did tell them that the Yamato modeling crowd is a bit older than what it used to be, since we'd grown up with it. I've taught kids in Japan for over 10 years now and there's not a lot of kids who are into Yamato, for sure. They mostly only care about Gundam and such.
