Damn, There¡Çs Someone on My Tail¡Ä! (Enemy Plane at the Rear!)


On the battlefield, if you¡Çre not constantly ¡Èaware¡É in every direction for 360 degrees, you can¡Çt survive!


Good evening, everyone!
This is Developer T, who thinks the first rain in a while is nice and refreshing, but is very irritated at how the humidity is clogging up his airbrush!


Now then, shipping for the 2nd Shinden production run has finally begun, with preference to pre-order buyers, in order of reservation!

Due to everyone¡Çs passionate encouragement, we were somehow able to reach our production goal, a little over half a year since the first production run sold out. Truly, thank you all so very much!

Moving forward, we would like to continue developing superior products which answer the requests of our customers in a similar manner, so we ask for your continued support.


Now then, at the same time as the shipping of the 2nd Shinden run making SWS more and more exciting, a great new supporting role that will greatly deepen and widen the world of SWS is debuting!



Shinden Flight Set: Contents have been finalized, so we will begin accepting pre-orders on July 31!

Wasn¡Çt SWS Supposed to Be a Model Airplane Series¡Ä?


Information courtesy of: Kamado Inc.

Good morning, everyone!
This is Developer T, who just made an appointment to see the dentist for the first time in about 20 years, and is feeling a bit nervous about his cavities!


Setting that aside, have you seen any of this month¡Çs scale model magazines??

There¡Çs some astonishing news very nonchalantly included in our advertisements, isn¡Çt there?

That¡Çs right, for the ¡ÈUsing plastic, that magical material, I want to create a real airplane!¡É SWS series, the ¡Ä

1/32 Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkrad

¡Äis the next new release! ¡Ê¡æ¢¦¡å¡Ë

By the way, there¡Çs a rather nonchalant little announcement on the front page of the Zoukei-mura website, as well. Our web team does a very good job, don¡Çt they? *laugh* Thank you very much!

The First Female Shinden Pilot!? (Shinden Sighting at HS Tokyo!)




Good morning, everyone! This is Developer T!

Today, we received our first piece of Shinden gossip in a while, so I¡Çll be telling it to you here.

What¡Çs this, there was a walk-in of a completed Shinden model from a female customer! Amazing!



By Sakura Yui (pseudonym): It was fully painted using a paintbrush with Vallejo pigments! Amazing! Unsurprisingly, it looks great! *shock*

I was actually thinking of holding a ¡ÈCourse on Vallejo with Paintbrushes,¡É but it seems my thunder has been completely stolen ¡Ä argh. orz

Feel Like It¡Çs Too Late to Ask About ¡ÈSWS¡É?




Hello, everyone! This is Developer T!

A few days ago, we finally started accepting orders for the Extra Parts in what could be called a revival of the Shinden boom, but please don¡Çt forget about the Ta 152.

Speaking of which, thanks to all of you, ordering for ¡ÈTa 152 H-1, the Last Blade of Luftwaffe,¡É is going very well! Truly, thank you all very much! m(_ _)m

But even having said that, I¡Çm sure that there are many out there who were unable to purchase Shinden saying, ¡ÈEveryone¡Çs talking about the SWS, but frankly speaking, what¡Çs the real down-low?¡É or ¡ÈI¡Çve never seen Shinden merchandise in this day and age ¡Ä I mean, no one ever sells any ¡Ä¡É and those who were unable to participate in the new product launch events or SWS caravan, going, ¡ÈI¡Çm interested in the Ta 152, but how is it, really?¡É

To those of you like that, I would like to freshly introduce a preparatory lesson as we head towards the estimated November release of the Zoukei-mura SWS No. 2 Ta 152, one that combines information about both the kit and the actual aircraft in addition to small informational tips that answer questions such as ¡ÈWhat the heck is SWS?¡É and ¡ÈWhat exactly is so amazing about Zoukei-mura¡Çs Shinden and Ta 152?¡É

Shinden Mystery #4

Good evening, this is Nezumitarou.

The results of the Shinden Contest will be announced, for which a truly splendid array of works has been gathered together. I¡Çm sure that the attending modelers will be overflowing with Shinden discourse that day, and I¡Çm looking forward to it!

This time, the Shinden Mystery isn¡Çt particularly difficult.

The question is this: Shinden is a naval fighter aircraft, so why isn¡Çt the fuel tank on the underside of the main body of the plane?

Congratulations to the Shinden Contest winners!

Hello, everyone!
It¡Çs been a while, this is Developer T!

First of all, congratulations to all of our Shinden Contest winners! ^^

On the day the contest results were announced, N and I were away on a business trip for the sake of the series¡Ç future development, so please accept our sincerest apologies for our absence. m(_ _)m

However, we returned bearing what could rightly be called a great harvest of information for the future of the SWS series! I believe that the pertinent information will slowly become known, so please wait for it!

Shinden Mystery #3

Good evening, this is Nezumitarou.
I am delighted by the unexpected response. Being a lazy person myself, I often come across facts about Super Wing Shinden that I didn¡Çt know before. Answering Cindy¡Çs request, I have thought of another Shinden Mystery.
This is it: How does the operation mechanism for the canard wings work?

Shinden Mystery #2

Good evening, this is Nezumitarou.
Thank you for all of your comments on my last entry, everyone.
I also am very fond of things like inside stories.
I get very excited when the intentions or troubles of the developers become visible through the mechanical details.
As I turned through the pages of the assembly manual again and again, a question arose.
This time, the Shinden Mystery is ¡Ä
Simply this: How bullet-resistant is Shinden?

Good morning, everyone! This is Developer T!

As the model submissions continue to arrive one by one from each showroom, I get more and more excited.
I also will do my best (with this entry) without losing to this pollen allergy! ><


Now, the category I would like to cover this time is the one with the second greatest amount of entries, the Painting Category!

First up is an entry from T-da, who has won great acclaim in the JMC (Joyful Modellers¡Ç Competition) and similar contests.
