I was pleasantly surprised by how big it was, especially compared to other MechaColle Yamato kits, it's around the same length from bow to stern as your average Gundam HG is tall (maybe a little taller, like the Zeta but not quite the Nu) and comes with a single large runner broken into four smaller sections to fit in the box, all sections of which are molded in the same shade of gray. The detail is outstanding for the size, and although there are some very minor seam lines they fade into the panel lining already present on the model. The instructions are printed onto the underside of the box which is a little annoying to work with but not really a big deal (Most other small Yamato kits and Star Wars minis do the same so it's no like it came out of nowhere). If you're a Yamato/Star Blazers fan but don't have the budget or shelf space for the 1/1000 models, I'd highly recommend this one and the others in the series (the 2199 ones can be a little rough but the 2202 and 2205 ones are top notch). P.S: None of the kits in this series are scaled with one another, so don't worry about trying to display it with others in the same scale if you're someone like me who does that. (If I had to ballpark it this one is around the 1/4000 to 1/5000 scale, depending on which version of the series you're going by)
