Description
This is a Japanese-language book or magazine about science-fiction subjects related to anime and/or modeling.
Feature: 60th Anniversary of Thunderbirds
The model magazine Hobby Japan Vintage takes a deep dive into the evolution of robot anime model kits from the early 1980s, thoroughly re-examining the development of character models from that era alongside the cultural and historical background of the time. Each issue showcases a large and diverse collection of scale and character model kits from the past, many of which are now out of production.
The magazine also includes in-depth articles exploring the world of Showa-era model kits, which have been well received by readers. Supervision and coordination of the featured builds are handled by Hideki Kakinuma.
In this special issue commemorating the 60th anniversary of Thunderbirds in 2025, the spotlight is on the new kit being released by BellFine with brand-new molds. The issue also features build examples of classic kits from Imai, Aoshima, and Bandai, tracing the history of Thunderbirds model kits.
A particular focus is placed on the explosive popularity of the series during its original Japanese broadcast in the 1960s, analyzed through related merchandise and the cultural climate of the time.
Additionally, the magazine includes a catalog-style section introducing all the machines featured in the show, providing a comprehensive look at Thunderbirds mecha in this special feature.
