1 November 2010 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 56 - Part C. In this Part "Niphon" presents two modern U.S. warplanes and one WWII Japanese Battleship. Starting from F/A-18E Super Hornet 1:48 from Italeri, followed by F-16C 1:48 from Hasegawa w/ local made decals (RTAF 40000hr), and topping it off with IJN Battleship "Mutsu" 1:350 w/ full option PE/brass upgrade kits from Hasegawa. As always, I hope you'll enjoy viewing!
I'd like to thank for all kind feedbacks, compliments and suggestions that we received concerning Page 56 - Part B. They are very encouraging, and they inspire us to keep on producing quality models & dioramas and showing finest quality pictures. Comments and suggestions are welcome in my

This is one of the most expensive plastic model kits I've ever bought. (It's second only to IJN "Akagi" 1:350 w/ A/B/C PE upgrade set + Super Detail set, also from Hasegawa which is still in box). The "Matsu" took "Niphon" a year and seven months to finish.
