All-Japan Plamodel Hobby Show 2009 Sneak Peek:
Doyusha and GSI Creos
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.
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.
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.
GSI Creos
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 to change the color tone.
The figure assembles easily, and can be arranged in different ways with the included base, furniture and props to represent the character's world.
This useful book for beginners (text all in Japanese) is loaded with helpful information, from the basics of how to choose an air brush and date on various paints to how to paint various items and how to maintain the air brush.
The first print run will include a figure of the series' mascot!
