Another Non-Luftwaffe Subject for Me...
Re: Another Non-Luftwaffe Subject for Me...
Life as the recipients knew it is about to change.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

LOL... There actually WAS an American giant robot depicted in one of the Getter Robo animes that I watch. And yup, it was armed with giant six shooters!Stikpusher wrote:That one sure looks to be a close combat veteran. I am always a bit amused how with these high tech futuristic giant war machines, they still somehow manage to incorporate a giant samurai sword as part of the weaponry. I suppose an American designed one could have a Bowie knife and a six shooter.
And just to clarify, this Jet VTOL aircraft is moving away from anime to live action TV...
My kit comes with a resin figure.

Those were strange shows ro me. I could never get interested in them. Missed out on some campy fun, I guess.

The live action movies like that I couldn't watch. They just seemed to campy to me.

As a young schoolboy those movies rocked. I still remember watching those Toho studio classics like Giant Robot and War of the Gargantuas on the Channel 5 movie of the week. And come on now, admit it, the opening scene in Sky Captain when the flying giant robots attack 1930’s New York was awesome.

That is so cool! I'd love to have that kit! Especially the one with Akiko in it.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

I reckon that those campy Japanese shows that were dubbed into English in the 70's served as a cultural security blanket for me. I went from watching Urutoroman in Japanese in Japan to watching Ultraman in English in Virginia.

Not Luftwaffe but definitely Scale Plastic Aircraft Modeler-appropriate...
This one had some AM goodies packed with it including:
Master Casters Ki-84 resin seat and frame
Master Casters Ki-84 resin wheels and exhausts
RB Productions IJA Harness
Eduard Ki-84 Flaps
Eduard Ki-84 Interior Set
Eduard Ki-84 Exterior Set
Eduard Ki-84 Masks
For additional fun, I am going to throw an Aires resin cockpit and some 3-D printed gun bays...

Hasegawa usually puts its best effort into their Japanese subjects so I think it will be a nice kit.
