All-Japan Plamodel Hobby Show 2009: Doyusha and GSI Creos Highlights
Doyusha
Shiden Kai is the latest entry in the Wing Collection series of prepainted aircraft kits.
These naval fighters, which flew the skies during the final phase of World War II, are introduced with new tooling.
Already painted and marked, the parts of each kit just need to be put together. Coming in November!
Considered to be the leader in the current popularity of military commanders, Date Masamune, is represented by this new item in the Japanese Helmet Series. The characteristic feature of this helmet is the long, narrow crescent moon decoration.
The helmets of Oda Nobunaga and Minamoto no Yoshiie will also be reproduced. All are slated for November release!
Mitsubishi's electric automobile, the i MiEV, is the newest addition to this collectible series of 1/64-scale die-cast cars. Different versions representing local electric companies are planned. Watch for them next month!
GSI Creos
Coming in December, here's a new addition to the popular Petit-com lineup of compressors.
The small size and light weight (350g) make it easy to carry around.
It's highly recommended as a backup compressor for both beginners and experts.
Every detail of this flagship air brush is made with precision.
The nozzle aperture is a mere 0.18mm in diameter, allowing for extremely fine application.
This is the first time color sets have come in these very pale pastel shades.
The basic color corresponds to character types, but these very handy pastels are also useful for applying highlights and color gradations, and can be mixed with other colors. Watch for them this month!
Here's an easy-to-understand color guide!
A January release is planned for this 10th entry in the popular Pinky Street series!
Planned as an upcoming premium item, this vignette is from anime monthly New Type's series "Kobato."
Check out "Postal Delivery Pinky" and her bike! A release date and price haven't been decided yet.
The figure assembles easily, and can be arranged in different ways
with the included base, furniture and props to represent the
character's world. Coming in November!
(That's #2 in the series lurking in the background; more info as we get it!)
This guidebook covers how to use an airbrush, basic painting methods,
airbrush maintenance, and more! And making it even better, the first
printing comes with a figure of the series' sweet mascot! Don't miss out!
