【Passion Models】Tamiya Panther D Mesh PE set!

Hi guys!

Passion Models P35-114 1/35 Panther D Mesh PE set [Tamiya]

is ready to go!

As you know Tamiya released Panther type D kit the other day, and this is perfect to detail it up. 

We decided to use brass material, so it is easy to add some dent and reproduce the damaged surface.

And the square mesh has bolt holes in the corner, which is also a feature of Panther type D although it's eliminated in Tamiya PE set.

Passion Models new items!!!

Hi guys!

Passion model new item is finally released!!

P35-110 German Military Bicycle for Tamiya

This time we made etching set for TAMIYA German bycycle.

 

 

 

It took nearly 2 years to get shape we want, it was long long journey...

It would be easy if we adapted pre-formed the spokes because all you need to do is

just glue it, but we wanted to make them look very realistic. It apparently raised its difficulty,but look at this, it is worth doing it!!

As you can see it makes the bike look very real nd beautiful!

And this is probably the most difficult etching set we made to assemble...all parts are so tiny and fragile,

so we put "Super experienced"Level on its instruction.

But we have 4 extra etching spokes just in case you fail. Please try if you want to challenge yourself!

Pre-Order Started!!【P35-109】 1/35 TigerI exhaust cover etching set

 

 Pre-Order Started!!

【P35-109】 1/35 TigerI exhaust cover etching set

Finaly...the exhaust cover is ready to go!

Let's hear product story from the developer.

-What do you want to share with customer as a developer?

  This time we decided to use sheet copper instead of brass to make it easier to add distressed effect, just like real cover of the tank. And usually we sell etching as the state of “sheet”, but this one(P35-109) will be sold after we bend it . It’s really easy to handle. All you have to do it just attach to your kit! We’ve been tested the product so many times and it took 6 months to get ideal shape and quality...I’m glad we finally releasing this. Please try it, if you have Tiger I kit! 
- Minako Hiramatsu, developing department

(Minako's cat)

Yes, we always pursue the quality because we know joy of creation,

and love to supply the best product for you.

Are you ready to feel the quality?
