So I picked up the Earth Defense Forces Main Battleship kit from the Space Battleship Yamato anime series: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN11623/Sci I’ve never seen the anime but like the design of the ships and thought it would be fun to build one. My question is, on the side of the hull there is that pod with the red center. What is that? Is that a reverse thruster, laser cannon, torpedo launcher? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
