▋With just this one book, you can learn about the actual Hs 129 aircraft and all about how to enjoy the SWS Hs 129 kits! We have only published a limited amount, so don’t miss your chance to get a copy!

▋This book includes rare and valuable photographs of the Hs 129 during maintenance, revealing the true personality of the aircraft.

▋Photographs include a commemorative photograph from the Romanian Air Force’s pilot academy and the scrapped post-war aircraft. What's the engine starter handle doing there?

▋From the rare sight of armament maintenance to a photograph of a briefing on the aircraft, to the symbols of destroyed enemy tanks on the tail, speak to the historical significance of the Hs 129.

▋From these photographs, you can tell that the Hs 129 was a very compact aircraft. But as soon as it took off in flight, it was the stuff of nightmares for enemy tanks.

▋This is one of the pages from the Concept Note, showing the Gnome-Rhône engines recreated in the distinctively detailed way of SWS kits. With the fantastic work of the famous Naoki Kobayashi, they are even more spectacular.

▋This is part of the detailing explanation of the painting process. The spotted pattern that helped the Hs 129 thrive in desert battlefields shows the aircraft’s personality well.

▋Here is the completed Hs 129 in all its majesty. Even though it is a small twin-engine aircraft, the SWS kit includes an unbelievable level of detail! You will have the amazing feeling of truly building an actual aircraft as you put together the 1/32 scale kit.

▋This is the Hs 129 painted for the Eastern Front and in Wintertime Camouflage. When you add the camouflage to the toned fuselage, you can be the pilot, or a member of the maintenance crew.

▋Here is the standard Hs 129. The bombs and 75 mm BK 7.5 anti-tank cannons are faithfully replicated. You can see that this unique aircraft was an unusual design, even within the Luftwaffe.

Long-awaited by fans of German aircraft, the Hs 129 B-2/RⅢ is available now!

▋Here is Zoukei-Mura’s answer to all the F-4E Phantom enthusiasts!! At last the kit long awaited by fans worldwide will be released!!
The F-4’s charms include its beautiful siluhette that holds great power hidden within. You can see it in every corner of the aircraft, that almost bewitching appearance that extends all over the body. Please enjoy the high-quality replication of this form, only to be found in SWS kits!

▋What is the unique appeal of the SWS kit based on examination of the actual aircraft?
One aspect is the faithful replication of the complex three-dimensional shape of the beautiful canopy. Another is the ability to build and paint with more detail, as the engine nozzles are separated into two parts, front and latter. You can also choose to replicate the opened or the closed position. In addition, you can choose which angle to build the stabilators in.
Of course, there is also the ability to adjust the angle of the flaps, ailerons, air brakes, and more.
With the new molding, the splitter vanes on the air intakes are also in separate parts, making assembly surprisingly easy.

▋Now you can have this beautiful form, distinctive to the F-4 Phantom, in your hands in 1/48 scale. This example model is now on display in the show window at the VOLKS Akihabara Hobby Square store.

▋This photograph shows all 15 sprues of the SWS F-4E Early kit. (Two of the 15 runners are duplicates.) Of these sprues, only three, including the seats and missile parts, are shared with the short nose SWS F-4 kits. The main 13 sprues are created from completely new molding. (In the photo, the sprues circled in red are shared with the short nose kits)

▋The canopy’s shape is a vital part of the beauty of the F-4. Check out this gorgeous shape and clarity.

▋Another part of the value of SWS kits is the high-quality decal sheet. Just look at how appealing it is.

▋And as you can see, the directions on where to apply each decal are incredibly detailed and precise. There’s nothing like the excitement of building an F-4 like this. You’ll need a day in advance to charge up your strength and energy for this process. But you’ll be so excited that you likely won’t sleep a wink the night before.

▋As you can see, here is the underside of the fuselage, an angle you would normally never see! The beauty of the F-4 will be reborn in your hands.

▋Another star of SWS kits is the assembly manual.
Reading through the details of this manual is like enjoying the delicious taste of the “airplane model appetizer.”

▋As you all know, Zoukei-Mura will travel to any corner of the earth if it is possible to examine the actual aircraft for our kits, with the kind cooperation of supportive individuals and facilities! For the F-4E kit, we thoroughly scrutinized the real airplane with the kind cooperation of the Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum, located in the United States, the birthplace of the F-4. Climbing all over the aircraft, rolling around on the ground (?!), we took photos from every imaginable angle.

▋We continued our examination, spurred on by our desire to make the best possible replica of the F-4 in 1/48 scale, with all of the pieces made of plastic! The aircraft we examined was not active, so there were some missing parts, but we used our huge collection of printed reference materials and other sources to fill in the blanks. The only way is forward, advancing at breakneck speed along the path of scale models!
