Hello Mr Kim.
Will you release a set for the original 1/350 Tamiya Musashi kit?

In future, we will release some sets for 1/350 Old Yamato and Musashi but I can't promise when.



Thank you
Keumho Kim

Do you have any pictures of the veteran rocket launchers?
Haven't heard of it before so I guess it's new

It is an optional part as some researchers insist there were Launchers on the first Searchlight base.


Thank you
Keumho Kim

Very interesting for the Rocket launchers.
Do you know if V.M. will sell individual sets for those? I am interested in getting a bunch of those for my 1946/7 Yamato build !

Well I bought all stock of Launcher at Veteran model.
So there is no more in their shelves.


Thank you
Keumho Kim

Did Musashi have the same crane boom tower as per Yamato?

Seem to recall rainbow did 2 different types. musashi's shape being rectangular on lower part then pyramid on the top portion rather than a pyramid all the way through like yamato's.

The 1943 photo of the class at Truk seems to show this shape somewhat vaguely.

We tried to realize as this.


Thank you
Keumho Kim
