Hey hey hey!!
Following J,S and C, D-Type is coming up!!
Being an F-4 Phantom fan,
I'm already in love with this impressive presence!!
▋The long-awaited F-4D, finally available from February 17th (Sat)!!
(Release date is the same within Japan. Release from SWS Friend Shops overseas will be some days later, differing from store to store. Inquire at each store for details).
SWS brothers, how are you doing?
Here in Kyoto, Japan, we're still in the middle of winter with cold days going on and on.
This year we reached such a low temperature, something that happens only one time in 5 years; some days ago we had a 25 centimeter record-snowfall in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, in addition to all the other cities frozen by this cold.
I envy the climate of the southern hemisphere approaching the midsummer.
Well, the long-awaited "D-Type" joins the top-selling SWS48 F-4 series which continues to perform excellently.
Following the previous C-Type, this kit will become a fine piece of your collection; enjoy its typical markings and camouflage painting, and its unique parts accurately reproduced.
Dear F-4 fan, enjoy J, S, C, and this [D], an incredible lineup that will shake the bottom of your heart.
▋Excitation at its max! This is what happens every time you open the box of a stunning 1/48 F-4!
Parts have been packed tightly. Each one has been inserted in a big polyethylene bag for protection. Be prudent and take each part out with patience.
▋This is the most wanted transparent part of the canopy air! Finely polished to enhance the tooling.
(Special Button Badges will be available also at Friend Shops overseas, for every customer who buys an F-4 kit. Please inquire at your closest Friend Shop for details.
Furthermore, the badges come with every F-4 kit, J,S,C and D. Until supplies last.)
▋From 2/17 (Saturday) at any Volks Shop or Friend Shop for each SWS48 F-4 kit purchased, one "F-4 Button Badge" selectable among the ones in the picture.
*This campaign will continue until supplies last, so hurry up!!!
The diameter of the badge is 75 mm. Designed by SWS Development Team.
The finished F-4 gets even more stunning thanks to this diorama base, reviving your room.

And!
We're now planning to release just a small quantity of the SWS F-4J, the model used by the Marine Corps, including the decals to reproduce the paint scheme of the famous "Red Devils", to accommodate the fans of the F-4J that requested a second release since, as you know, the product sold out very quickly. See the splendid package art!
▋SWS F-4 "J" Marine, new release including the "Red Devils" decals. In the picture, the beautiful F-4, marvelously reproduced by master "Naoki Kobayashi" .
Furthermore, this J-Type will be released in just a small quantity so be quick to get it!!
It's not over yet!
This is a promise for you F-4 fans! The development of 1/48 F-4 E has come to a good point. I think I may let you see a test-shot of the model in the next days so please look forward to it.
As for the 1/32 scale, we're finally ready for the second release of Do 335 A-12 Pfeil!! This time too, just a small quantity available, packed in-house piece by piece by me and my wife.
Don't miss this chance and make this kit part of your precious collection.
▋Our hands hurt with all these cardboards?!
Exactly. Even with these thick boards my hands got hurt. Oh? As you see my dear wife put gloves on her hands. She's smiling indeed. Hats off!!
The extra parts for the conversion in the long awaited, threatening Ho 229 V7 Double Seat conversion set, are finally ready!
As you see, you will find 26 resin parts, a canopy made up of 2 PVC parts, to reproduce the fierce Ho 229 V7 in a splendid form.
Your collection is about to welcome another machine that you will love.
You wanna know its release date ...,,,,!?
▋Ho 229 V-7 Extra Parts are all made of resin.
You can't attach it with glue for plastic. Instant glue or glue for resin is necessary.
▋Canopy parts are made of transparent PVC. Please use glue for PVC only.
By the way, the 1/32 SWS Ho 229 kit is about to sell out.
Get it as soon as you can.
Zoukei-mura is a small manufacturer. Therefore, once the SWS kit sells out, it will be out of stock for a considerable period until reproduction.
(Please inquire at your closest Friend Shop to know if it's still available）
