As long as we're identifying models... These have the Starblazers names. What are the Space Cruiser Yamato names, if any?

(I expect 1 is "Yamato"... )
These are not canon designs. Although they are obviously inspired by those sources.
One of the fighters appears to be loosely based on an mash-up of elements of an F-18 or something similar crossed with a custom cockpit and a paintjob meant to evoke the original Cosmo Tiger or Cosmo Zero.
The other is based off of a concept designed by "Lighthouse" studios (I forget the man's real name much to my chagrin at the moment) but he actually DID work on the mecha designs from Yamato 2199. Here's a copy of his original art for comparison:

Number 3 is completely unknown to me as a design. It's not based on anything even remotely close to anything that appeared in either the classic original series or Y2199.
What you've got here is extrapolations or homages based on the originals. I notice that they are CG Skins - probably useful for re-skinning ships in something like Homeworld for client-side mods of space sim games.
