WF2022 video from PLATZ 

This is the WF2022 video from PLATZ posted in January 2022, but which I have only just discovered.

You can either work your way through the video above, or you the shortcuts bellow to go to the 1/144 items of interest.

Obviously the video from Mr Platz is in Japanese, if you use the translate and subtitles option there will be a translation - but, its a bit patchy.

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!?
