- Masterpiece 16 Series 1/80 16.5mm Gauge Metal Kit
[About the prototype]
- A commuter train that was introduced in 2004. In addition to the 4-car 3300 series train, there is also the 2-car 3150 series train with the same design.
- Developed based on the previously introduced 300 series, it was manufactured over a period of 15 years, although there was a period when production was suspended.
- Broadly speaking, there are changes to the skirts and paint colors before and after the hiatus, but the early cars were later changed to later-type skirts.
- In this project, the prototype for the 4-car 3300 series train will be the first and second batches manufactured between 2004 and 2005.
- The two-car 3150 series kit is based on the 1st to 4th series cars manufactured between 2004 and 2008.
- In addition, each model will also be released with the later-type skirt.

- The front is lost and the body is made of etched parts.
- In order to express the subtle unevenness of the sides, a nickel silver plate is layered on top of the brass body to create a detailed look.
- Rooftop cooler and underfloor equipment are made of white metal and are included in the kit.
- Powertrain is not included in the kit.
