--Masterpiece 16 Kiha 35 series railcar
--1/80 16.5mm Gauge Metal Kit
[About the contents of the project]
――The Kiha 35 series railcar is a railcar for non-electrified commuting routes near the city, which was manufactured by the Japanese National Railways from 1961 (Showa 36).
――Although it is a modest vehicle, our interpretation is that it is an experimental product that pushes the limits of the miniaturized model.
――I think it is impossible to express all the details of the actual vehicle in the 1/80 scale, but how close you can make it to the actual vehicle within the limits is the showcase of your skill as a manufacturer. ..
――We are producing 30 new prototypes for lost parts alone. There are 14 types of white metal parts.
――It takes time to assemble, but you can get a feeling of satisfaction that far exceeds the conventional 1/80 product.
――The prototypes are the three prototypes.
-The front reinforcement plate parts and the pig nose light are included in the kit so that the late specifications can be reproduced.
[Kit overview]
――The car body is a combination of a general bent etched body.
--The outside hanging door is made of lost wax.
――Although it is under the floor, which is the highlight, the air tank system, water tank system, and exhaust pipe system are designed so that piping is possible.
――The parts that are the control of piping are lost parts so that they can be soldered.
――Of course, the details are deformed, but it is full of details.
――As expected, it was not possible to handle electrical piping.
――For equipment boxes that do not require piping, we made them made of white metal.
――The engine part can be divided into 3 parts, and it can be used for MP gears by sandwiching a small motor.
—— Also, we have made it compatible with power trucks.
--In addition, all reproducible items such as driver's cab, seat chair, hanging leather, and rack rack are included as parts.
――The toilet bowl is also expressed in white metal. Unfortunately, it disappears after assembly, but please understand the self-satisfaction of the designer.
--The bogie frame, power, and coupler are not included.
