We, modelers, hope to enjoy model building to our heart’s content during the time when we can neither shorten or extend what is called the “weekend” and during this limited time when several people are free to do what they wish. If we could hope for it, then we’d also like to finish a model with weekend modeling…

We go to work or school on a Monday after glancing at our finished models. Now then, what should we make next? What should we take a photo of next to add to our photo galleries on our smartphones? Should we try building a model in a slightly different way? Another fun weekend is to come.

“GUNDAM F91 Ver.2.0” was released in May as the latest Master Grade (MG) release.

This release is a state-of-the-art Gunpla given technique feedback implemented through the “GUNPLA EVOLUTION PROJECT”; this kit, worthy of being a pioneer of the next generation of standard MG, is this issue’s second feature. Its charms will be thoroughly analyzed through an interview with Mr. Fukuda, who is responsible for development at the BANDAI SPIRITS Hobby Department, and a kit impression, so we hope you will thoroughly read this feature.

This issue will deliver a variety of contents including a sample kit review carefully made by Ryunz, sample kits made using Heavygun and G-CANNON as a fun way to enjoy resale 1/100 scale kits ahead of their releases, and more.

Following the launch of Sputnik in 1957 came the R-7 series, a rocket series that does not fail to launch, by the Russian space program.

This feature will take a look at the history of the Soviet-Russian space program through models with “Plastic Model Soyuz Rocket & Transport Train” released by the Good Smile Company as the main model. This will be a commentary into launched rockets from the time of Vostok to modern rockets.

The Seven Heavenly VirtuesRaphael ~The Figure of Temperance

A manifestation of the angel “Raphael ~The Figure of Temperance” by AMAKUNI!

It is not even an exaggeration to say that her appearance, freely revealing her ample body clad in a flashy outfit, coupled with low calorie sweets is truly an embodiment of the spirit of Temperance.
