▋Direct from Japan! “What will happen to this huge stock of SWS kits...!?”
All those worries from our staff vanished the moment the doors opened—look at this! Thrilled to see so many passionate modelers lining up, having already chosen which SWS kit they wanted to buy. Thank you so much, everyone!
The 1/32 Bf 109 G-4 will undoubtedly shine as one of the finest masterpieces in your collection.

▋Oh—this modeler picked the 1/32 Shinden! Excellent choice! This aircraft was Japan’s last hope during the final days of WWII, a desperate project by the Imperial Navy that barely reached the prototype stage. And this kit was our very first Zoukei-Mura SWS kit. Back then, our techniques were still in its early stages, so the build requires considerable skill.
Please repeat careful test-fits on each part and enjoy the process—your patience and efforts will truly pay off!

▋The Bf 109 kits are flying off the shelves into the hands of middle-aged and older modelers!
Those who know, truly appreciate the incredible value packed into this kit—what you get for the price is outstanding. Thank you for making it part of your collection!
We're sure that the moment you open this kit in your room, you will be smiling with pure joy! And that very moment is when all our hard work feels completely worth it.

▋Oh! You’ve chosen the 1/32 Ta152—what an excellent choice!
This kit holds so many memories for us at Zoukei-mura. Its development was a long and challenging journey: we spent countless hours at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, photographing the dismantled aircraft, measuring every part, turning those into drawings, and building prototype after prototype. Of course, back then our tooling technology was still in its early stages, so by today’s standards, this kit has its imperfections. But with your passion and skill, we’re confident you’ll turn it into a fantastic model and enjoy every moment of the build. Comparing the early SWS kits with our newer releases might be part of the fun!

▋Scale ModelWorld in Telford runs for just two days—time seems plentiful, but it really isn’t! From the main contest to the creative displays by modelling teams, specialist retailers’ booths, and manufacturers like us showcasing new products and selling kits, the hours fly by in an instant. Miss this chance, and you’ll have to wait a whole year. So, what would you do? No wonder everyone here is so focused and serious!

▋Oh! The Ki-45 Toryu, the Bf 109, and the Shinden—fantastic choices!
It’s such a joy to see interest in Japanese aircraft here in the UK, and even more so to know that these expensive SWS kits are being added to your collections. We truly feel fortunate! The Toryu kit includes not only the standard parts but also a full set of clear parts, allowing you to enjoy the aircraft’s internal mechanisms even after assembly. Choose whichever style you prefer and have fun building!

▋Wow—look at all these "SWS brothers" lined up! And welcome to the 1/32 Bf 109 kit!
This compact fighter, a true icon of the WWII German Luftwaffe, will be recreated by your hands.
At Zoukei-mura, we’re committed to bringing as many variants as possible to life. No matter how many years it takes, we’ll keep challenging ourselves to make every Bf 109 type available as a kit.
So to all Bf 109 fans—please be patient and keep supporting us along the way!

▋Here we go again, the 1/32 Ta 152! And the highly praised, the Fw 190, plus the Ki-45 Toryu!
The Fw 190 A-4 kit is regarded as the ultimate plastic model—one that many say only Zoukei-mura could make possible. This masterpiece by Dr. Kurt Tank is recreated in stunning detail, starting with the BMW engine and its unique mounting system, the complex arrangement of intake and exhaust pipes, and continuing through the cockpit details, landing gear, and armament. It answers all those long-standing questions aviation fans have had.
Even if you’re not a 1/32 scale fan, we highly recommend adding it to your collection!

▋The Zoukei-mura booth’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down!
From 1/32 and 1/48 kits to tools, materials, Concept Notes, and more, our small team is so busy that even grabbing a drink or lunch is a challenge. Thanks to everyone’s support, the towering stockpile is running low.
Your smiles and that decisive moment when you choose to make a purchase—that’s the greatest reward for us.

▋Wow—48th scale F-4! Among all those 1/32 kits, this F-4 series of nine variants has earned high praise: “Zoukei-Mura does great work even on modern jets in 1/48 scale.”
And now, only the reconnaissance “RF” type remains! Development of that RF version is steadily progressing.
I’d love to show it to you soon, but since 1/32 development is the top priority for Zoukei-Mura, please give us a little more time. And look at the far right of the photo—there’s a beautiful modeler smiling while holding the Fw 190! This year’s Scale ModelWorld is fantastic!

▋SWS kits are flying off the shelves—thank you so much! The Bf 109, the 1/48 Ta152, and the 1/32 Skyraider AD-6! So exciting! Cheers to you who will build that AD-6 in its stunning Midnight Blue!
That massive, heavy-duty aircraft will add even more brilliance to your completed model collection!

▋“Look. It's me right here!” That smile in front of the raffle sign says it all. Our SWS brother, you look amazing!
Seeing that joyful smile is exactly why we’ve dreamed of doing this work and being part of this event. What an incredible moment that it’s come true!
It makes me want to shout: “Long live scale modelers around the world! Banzai!” And thank you so much for your purchases of the F-4 and Bf 109!

▋Here it is. 1/32 Ho 229 B, everyone! For this kit, we spent countless hours at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, thoroughly researching the dimensions and shape of the actual single-seat aircraft. Based on that, and after carefully studying various plans, Zoukei-Mura applied its own unique interpretation to bring you the ultimate 1/32 scale kit.
Of course, every part of this development reflects the originality and distinctive values of the Zoukei-Mura team, striving to recreate a kit that is truly one of a kind. Thanks to that effort, we’ve received tremendous positive feedback and praise, “Plastic model kits have come this far!” To everyone who purchased this masterpiece, we extend our dheartfelt gratitude. Thank you so much!

▋And once again, a beautiful modeler holding the SWS 1/48 F-4E!
What’s happening at this year’s Scale ModelWorld? If more women are joining the modeling community, that’s something we wholeheartedly welcome. Big applause!!
In fact, here in Japan, we’ve been seeing more and more women stepping into the modeling world recently. It’s exciting—and honestly, it makes me feel a little restless. Am I the only one? Come on, veteran modelers, keep it up!

▋The event is moving along nicely. Zoukei-Mura booth is still buzzing with happy older modelers picking up SWS kits. When we asked if we could take a picture of them for this blog, almost everyone gladly agreed. We’re truly happy and grateful!
As you know, SWS kits are designed with a very detailed concept, which means lots of parts and a complex assembly process. So please take your time—step by step—carefully checking each step as you work toward completion.
And a word of caution: rushing through with the attitude of “I’m experienced, this is easy” can lead to trouble! Slow and steady wins the day.

▋Oh! They look like a couple. A big round of applause for the wife who supports her modeler husband!
SWS kits are premium products, so please take your time and enjoy both the building process and the satisfaction of a perfect finish.
The two photos on the right show completed SWS kits—both classic and new—alongside mock-ups of the latest releases. SWS kits have a unique charm: only those who actually build them can truly understand the thrill of assembling parts in a way that feels like solving a puzzle. The intricate steps and clever engineering are something you’ll only experience with SWS. So if you haven't, why not try building an SWS kit yourself? It’s sure to bring you delightful surprises!

▋It looks like the 1/32 Bf 109 G-4 is already close to selling out!
The stock pile in the back is getting noticeably smaller. Thanks to all of you, the hard work we put into development is being rewarded by the modelers attending the event. Thank you! Your smiles—and knowing these kits will be in your hands and part of your collections—are joys beyond compare.. Please take a moment to feel the passion and dedication we’ve poured into every single part. There’s a Japanese saying: “God dwells in the details.” We’ll keep that in our hearts as we continue striving forward.

▋One after another, older modelers’ smiles and their choices are lighting up the Zoukei-Mura booth!
We’ve worked hard to deliver the very best, so your collection will have to compromise.
Beyond the kit itself, take a close look at the quality of the instruction manual and decals. And don’t miss the beauty of the package art. With plastic, the magical medium, you’ll feel as if you’re assembling a real aircraft piece by piece. That’s the sensation we aim to create—and we’ll keep striving to develop scale model kits that bring that dream to life.

▋“I’ve got it! This is my haul from the show!”
That’s the kind of voice we’re hearing—and we couldn’t be more grateful. Where did you come from?
You’ve spent your time and travel expenses to attend the event and then visit the Zoukei-Mura booth —here all the way from far-off Japan—to purchase an SWS kit. We’re truly thrilled and filled with gratitude beyond words. Your dream is our dream. Please look forward to what’s coming next from SWS!

▋Smiles, smiles, and more smiles!
I completely understand that feeling, fellow modelers. The event hall is packed with things you want and countless items that catch your interest. And yet, you chose to pick up an SWS kit at our booth.
Do you know how much that means to us, how much encouragement and support it gives for future kit development? Words can’t express it. I keep looking at these photos over and over again, filled with gratitude.
Thank you so very much!

▋Yes! Now you’re officially part of the proud SWS brotherhood. Are you my younger brother, or maybe my older one? Either way, through SWS kits, I can’t help but think of modelers around the world as brothers. Forgive me for that, brother!
You’ve worked hard to find this kit, brother. And there’s more effort ahead, buying it and building it. But thanks to brothers like you, we can keep pushing forward with development tomorrow and beyond.
Thank you, brothers!!

▋Take a look behind them.
The SWS kit stock is getting pretty low! There are still plenty of undecided modelers wandering around the hall, so the real showdown is just beginning.
And who’s that? Someone thinking, “Maybe I’ll wait and see if I win the Zoukei-Mura raffle”? No way! Well... if I were at the event, I might find that idea fun too. But here’s the truth: buying before the raffle. That’s the real winning move!

▋And here we are—the moment has finally come.
There are only a few SWS kits left in stock! Miss this chance, and you’ll face days of regret and remorse until next year. So don’t let your guard down! Now, should you go all in and spend every last penny on SWS kits? Well… maybe not.
But rest assured, we’ve developed these kits so you’ll never feel a single ounce of regret. On behalf of Zoukei-Mura, I want to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who purchased an SWS kit at this event.
Thank you so much!!
