This does look pretty interesting. 8400 yen? About $95.00 USD? That really doesn't seem out of line considering what you get. It will be interesting to see if any of these show up on display tables at model contests.

Check out the Kamizukuri company website at http://www.kamizukuri.jp/diorama/images/gunkou_l.jpg The images there are larger and clearer... and the effect is stunning! Can't wait for someone to offer this set to U.S. modelers

Hi guys! While browsing Pacific Front Hobbies website I found the set by Tamiya. Heres a link http://www.pacificfront.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_85&products_id=4494&osCsid=b0a9e4badca480c9f8029a6802bf3ac0. I'm glad PFH has this in stock, because I was not looking foward to that price or finding it!!!

Cheers

Holy Moly!

That is one deluxe price all right. Although the product would be most excellent for building up a diorama scene. I think I will just work with my Model Builder Software and shrink it down to come up with something along those lines. Besides, the software was only $39. For those of you who like to tinker, Google Sketchup can do much the same thing for free.
