How to Express Yourself by Just Adding a Little Extra!
This issue’s special feature article is “Model Making Without Painting Everything!”
We searched for various methods of finishing plastic model kits under the restriction of “not painting everything” so that we could shorten the production time for each kit and be able to work on a larger number of kits.
Our modelers will teach you many effective modeling techniques that will help you finish your kits in a short amount of time!
*In this special feature, we define “painting everything” as covering all of the base parts colors with paint.

Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Mobile Suit V Gundam!
Introducing the MG Victory Gundam Ver.Ka from Mobile Suit V Gundam, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary!
Professional modeler JUN III produced the example. By omitting the transformation mechanism, he was able to add a rotation mechanism to the waist to expand the range of poses. Attention was also paid to each of the joint parts to change the balance of the whole silhouette.
