1/144 Wing Kit Collection 'Extra Edition : Eternal Zero' - F-Toys

1/144 Wing Kit Collection 'Extra Edition : Eternal Zero' - F-Toys

A reissue of a number of moulds to tie-in with a Japanese Film Release. There does not appear to be anything earth shattering here, though if you must collect evety Zero permutation issued - this set if for you!

I think would have been more interested in a tie-up producing some of the more fanciful designs in Studio Ghibli's The Wind Rises http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlaW8-2T1HI , incidently  Miyazaki's final film.

Released : December 2013
