1/144 Wonderfest 2012 Show Specials - Platz/F-Toys

Not withstanding how "special" these specials are, on the basis at least two out of the three, if not all have been previously released at previous shows - the "special" nature is linked to the short production run leading to limited availability after the show days. However keep an eye on ebay and som of the smaller sites and these may appear....

Needless to say, these are all part of the cool Area-88 Series, that overall has not seem a full reissue for some years (BAe/Blackburn Buccaneer anyone!?) At least any additional decals are proper Cartograf decals!

F-8 Crusader (1,000 Yen)
F-35J Saab Drakken (1,800 Yen)
A-4 Sky Hawk (1,000 Yen)
F-2A (1,800 Yen) - Warning, this may be the 2010 reissue!?

1/144 J-35F SAAB Drakken Pit- Road

Pit Road as suspected are to release thier J-35F Drakken Kits and a "built" item - although it still looks fairly kit like to me. It is more akin to the the gashopon models in so much that it is prepainted and required some assembley including decals adding!

It would appear wither option comes with the same set of decals for Swedish schemas, so there will be some spares for future use. You could of course by the Kit version wich comes with Austrain decals (only)

=============================

.

I hope F-toys are crying in thier beds tonight?
How great does this Platz kit look?
Unless it is the Euro Jets Special (but not painted as good) as F-Toys and Platz often collaborate, so go figure?
.
The price would indicate it a completed, built and painted version
and at least two version (although the SN03, may indicate 3x?)

Available: December 2009
Price: 2,500 Yen 15GBP / 25USD
