The unpleasant rainy season has already arrived here in Japan. The sky above us today and tomorrow is covered in thick, gloomy rain clouds.
How is the sky above you, SWS brothers?
Is it sunny? Or is it raining or snowing? I hope it’s nice and sunny.

In this issue, I'm excited to share that I finally have the highly anticipated new product, the “Ho 229 B”, in my hands, and I'll give you a sneak peek at the assembly instructions.

I'll give you a quick overview with some photos, but for more details, please look forward to when you get your hands on this kit.


The SWS 1/32 Ho 229 B kit contains astonishing
369 parts!

Imagine assembling this SWS kit, which not only equals museum models in quality but perhaps even surpasses them.
In my next blog, I will show you more details of each part in photos.

Furthermore
The first modelers in the world to get their hands on the SWS 1/32 “Ho 229 B” kit in their hands will be those who purchase it at the IPMS Nationals in Hampton, United States.

Please look forward to it.

Please note that release is scheduled to begin in August 2025 (*) at Volks stores and SWS Friend Shops worldwide.
I can picture you opening this kit with a big smile on your face at your workbench in your hobby room.
* Please note that the release schedule for SWS Friend Shops may vary. Please contact your nearest SWS Friend Shop for details.

Enjoy the true essence of the SWS kits.
