Offbeat model kits
« on: July 20, 2014, 03:39:47 PM »
I thought I'd start this for all those little companies with one-off's or very occasional kits that fit our purposes.

1st up - Volks Model Kits

OK, couldn't find this crew in the existing threads, so here we go.

These guys apparently make garage kits; mostly Gundam & something called Dollfie.

Here are the wikipedia & company links:

https://www.volks.co.jp/?version=en

and associates:

Anyway, I was cruising the HLJ site & found this;


1/35 Principality of Gallia Experimental Tank Edelweiss

I've been meaning to pick up this kit of Edelweiss for several weeks but other expenses keep getting in the way. I couldn't really get in to Valkyrie Chronicles but it has some nice tank designs that mix fictional and real world design elements.
