Uploaded a few pictures from the 2002 Fall Hobby Show in Tokyo in the Article Section.  Instead of posting tons of pictures, that are already available on the net, I wrote what I learned by talking to actual sales representatives.

Another great issue of F1 Modeling is available now. It contains not only usual close up photos of the 2002 cars, but also Monaco Historique and Ferrari 312T(chassis No. 021)

Currently I'm working on previously unannounced project.  It's a modification of an existing kit, and I've taken more than 100 in progress photos.  It's expected to be done in two weeks.  Stay tuned.

Already the end of April.  This shows how lazy I've been.

Anyway, the latest issue of F1 Modeling is already on sale.  It's another Ferrari F1-2000 close up special.  You'd better not miss it.

Studio 27 has already announced the production of Ferrari F2002, Jordan EJ12, Toyota TF102, McLaren MP4/17, Sauber C21.

Tamiya's going to release Honda Fit mini van, which has been quite successful in Japan.  A recent visit to a local hobby store revealed that Tamiya's sports and race car kits are not selling well.  Rather, Fujimi and Aoshima's street cars are popular, so I guess Tamiya's decision reflects the market needs.  So sad for sports car fans...

Long waited Toyota MR-S (MR2 Spider in some countries) are released.  Currently the normal and sport version are available, and few more aero versions are planned.  Fujimi's going to release the latest Honda Civic and Integra.  Considering how well Revell's Integra is selling, I bet those two will be a good seller, too.

Finally, there is something about my modeling project, which hasn't been updated for a long time.  Fujimi's Toyota MR2 is completed and posted in both Project and Gallery page.
