Title: Rather cool 1/100 VTOL
Post by: YPU on June 25, 2012, 04:50:36 PM
Hey guys, I sometimes brose around Japanese Hobby sites for little gems to use in wargaming. Today I stumbled across this beauty.

Link to HLJ sale. (http://www.hlj.com/product/KBYKP-182)

Price isn't bad either with the current sale on it. Its a model kit so customizing painting it should be no problem whatsoever.

Mind you, like any promotional images that one is "painted by a pro"

Added a litle more obvious link to the sale, rather then hiding it in the image.

Nope, its 1/100 and its a full model kit, so glue and the likes needed.

Ooh, do you happen to have any pictures of it? I would love to see one that isn't put together and painted by some crazily skilled Japanese modeller. In case you actually are a  crazily skilled Japanese modeller I still would like to see pictures of it.
