I enjoy building mostly military aircraft, armor, and helicopters in a variety of scales. My favorite subjects are usually IDF or JSDF related. Favorite aircraft are: the F-14 Tomcat, the A-4 Skyhawk, and the British DeHavilland Mosquito.

Team America at the 2018 Shizuoka Hobby Show (May 12,13)
Scooter Man replied to Scooter Man's topic in General Discussion
Hi John, Thanks for that insight.

Like I said....I cannot be certain why there are not more Americans who don't attend the Shizuoka Hobby Show. Maybe some of my fellow Americans could shed some light on the reason they don't attend. I guess considering the sheer size of the show in Shizuoka I am somewhat bewildered that more of them don't make the journey. Maybe it has more to do with the cost & distance - who really knows??

I can't speak for certain but I sometimes get the sense that a lot of Americans tend to prefer participating in "competitive" events whereas culturally the same is not as true with the Japanese.

I have put together a team of American model builders who are going to be attending this year's Shizuoka Hobby Show in Shizuoka, Japan. For those of you who might not be familiar with the Shizuoka Hobby Show it is arguable the largest plastic model exhibition in the world. The show itself is housed in two very large exhibition halls. One of the halls is filled with professional trade displays from the various major Japanese model companies such as Tamiya, Hasegawa, Bandai, Aoshima,, and a few of the lesser companies as well. The 2nd exhibition hall is where over 130 model clubs from all ov

Kit # Pt 21. All parts are still in their factory sealed plastic bags. There is some black magic marker cross outs on the box cover - I was going to use this kit originally to make an A-4M using the CE conversion set...and then Hasegawa came out with the A-4M kit. If interested please contact me directly at: GNomad781(at)gmail.com Thanks! Tim
