Are you guys happy about the news on Falke from Hasegawa to be in 1/20 scale?
As I wrote in Model Graphix, the kit was about to be modelized in 1/35.
Of course there are many items I would like to come in 1/35 so I will keep begging them about those.

Now, Here comes the news:

The other day, I bought and was authorized to obtain all SF3D, so called Maschinenkrieger, master molds from Nitto.
Of course this can not be brought back by man power, so we hired people specialized for transport by truck.
From now on, the management and operation will be done by Wave, under my authorization.
We thank the president of Nitto and other staff for having produced and stored these master molds for a quater century, since 1984.

It looks even checking all master mold condition will take sometime...

Even if all the master molds are OK for injecting, I just can not sell these plastic parts packed in news paper. I need to re-design and produce item box, instructions, decals and metal parts from scratch.

Of course I am thinking and trying to re-issue those kits especially for those fans who have never seen original Nitto kit with their own eyes.

Just I would like you to know, basically those Nitto-made kits are not schedule to be re-issued under the brand name Wave. Because I requested them to focus on new tooling Snake eyes which is now under development.

Moreover, the company that re-issues those kits are not Hasegawa, so please don't trouble them to make inquiry about this matter.
Additionally, the company will not be Bandai, Aoshima, Tamiya, Fine Molds, Fujimi, Doyusha, Trumpeter, Academy, Airfix and none of those types.

Please look forward to the day I can announce Who's gonna make these kits, by pondering and exploit your imagination.

What disappointed me was I could not find a part of Neuspotter and Kraffenfogel master molds.

However, I found this master mold by surprise:

I thought these Kauz & Nuts metal molds were bought out by Doyusha when they bought KITARO (Japanese animation character) master mold which includes some of Ma.K item parts.
So when the right time comes, I may ask Doyusha to inject part of metal mold to produce required parts only.

Please wait for the further news!
