Tamiya 78027 1/350 Japanese...
$194.95
The Japanese Navy's Last Heavy Cruiser
The Chikuma was completed in May 1939 as the second ship of the Tone-class. She was the final heavy cruiser to be built by the Japanese Navy and featured a distinctive design which concentrated four twin 20.3cm main gun turrets forward of the bridge in order to allow unimpeded launching of her six floatplanes from the aft deck during battle. Chikuma often accompanied the Japanese Navy's aircraft carriers since her floatplanes provided considerable reconnaissance capabilities to the fleet, and she was present at such important engagements as the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Midway. She continued to serve valiantly until her demise at the hands of U.S. carrier aircraft during the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944.

$269.99
Tamiya welcomes this limited edition version of Item 58740 1/10 R/C Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8 (BT-01) (short wheelbase and midship rear motor / rear-wheel drive (MR)) with the polycarbonate body pre-painted in White (PS-1) with Smoke (PS-31) windows, with pre-cut wheel arches and pre-made body mount holes, which is great for not only beginners but also R/C veterans.
Drive to feel the legendary machine
Ever since its debut in 1964 cars with the Porsche 911 name have set pulses racing worldwide, and in that legendary pantheon the Carrera RS 2.7 occupies a special position. Developed to join European GT car races, it first broke cover at the 1972 Paris Auto Salon , sporting a powerful 2.7-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine, further refined aerodynamics and lightening across the board. The Carrera RSR 2.8 was even racier and really brought home the bacon in 1973, victorious in the 24 Hours of Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring and Targa Florio. This assembly kit R/C model recreates the RSR 2.8 with a polycarbonate body capturing the mesmerising form with ducktail and bulging fenders.
Options Galore: the 2WD BT-01 Chassis
The 2WD BT-01 chassis gives a choice of two types of wheelbase, and front- or rear-wheel drive system. Without removing battery pack, motor and R/C equipment setups from the center frame, simply change attachment directions of final gears and steering linkage to switch between front- and rear-wheel drive; front (FR) or midship rear (MR) motor position can be chosen for rear-wheel drive cars. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features symmetrical structure and friction dampers. Unitized Sections such as motor mount, final gears and suspension facilitate ease of assembly and effective maintenance.
Ever-changing: 2WD BT-01 chassis
The easy-to-use 2WD BT-01 chassis provides two different wheelbases, and you can choose a front- or rear-wheel drive system, making the model closer to the real car.

GODHAND
GodHand SWN-125 Nipper for ...
$108.95
These Godhand nippers were designed for cutting metal wires used in model making, but are fantastic for any purpose that requires cutting metal or wires under 0.5mm thick.
Owing to the fact that they were developed for model-making, these nippers leave an incredibly clean cut - unlike conventional wire nippers. So they're great for anything where presentation is important.
While most general nippers crush the wire, leaving a pinched looking cross-section, these nippers have blades much sharper than most, which leave a super clean cross-section after cutting, and reduces your sanding, polishing and finishing time.
These nippers use Godhand's hybrid blade technology, which gives greater cutting capacity toward the back of the blade, leaving the front of the blade very thin and sharp, for detailed cuts on smaller materials. They're suitable for cutting brass, copper, aluminum and stainless steel wires at various thicknesses.

MICROSCALE
Microscale Micro-Kristal Klear
$10.99
If there ever was a modelers' secret, this is it. Micro Kristal Klear can do so many things, you will not believe that any product can make such a big difference in the appearance of your models.
First, Micro Kristal Klear is a liquid that can be used to form very real looking small windows up to 1/4" in size. It also is an adhesive for mounting clear plastic parts, windows, etc., on models. It can be used to make lenses both clear and colored with the addition of a little food coloring. What really makes a remarkable difference in your models is the simple fact that the clear parts can be joined to the painted parts with a completely clear adhesive. What this means is that you do not have to mask around the clear parts, something that is rarely completely successful any way. Plus the sills which are painted can be seen through the Micro Kristal Klear for the most realistic looking windows you will see on a model.
What the pros like best is that it is fast and easy and stays clear. It cleans up with water while wet and is waterproof when dry. You can tell when it's dry because it turns from milky white to clear. If you need a super strong and flexible adhesive for wood, plastic, paper or most combinations of dissimilar materials, this is a handy thing to have.
For the making of small windows, you just dip a toothpick in this thick liquid and apply a little all around the edges. Then, holding the toothpick as flat as you can to the opening, draw it across from one side of the opening to the other. You will pick up a bubble which will form a very thin window of scale thickness that is also strong and flexible. When installing larger clear parts, paint the model first. Just apply a little Micro Kristal Klear along the edges to be joined, put in place and let dry.


MICROSCALE
Microscale Micro-Mask Liqui...
$10.99
$12.99
Micro Mask is like masking tape in a bottle. Just apply it with a brush, let it dry, and cut it to any shape you want with a sharp no.11 blade. Peel out the part where you want to paint leaving an outer stencil mask and paint with the method of your choice. Just don't use a water based paint over it, because Micro Mask is water soluble. Use solvent based paints. You can paint the finest details you can cut with a knife. Unlike masking tape that can allow paint to go under it, even the most difficult designs come out sharp and clean with Micro Mask. An easy way to peel Micro Mask off, as soon as the paint is dry enough, is to rub on a piece of masking tape and pull it away quickly. In difficult areas, just use water and a tooth brush and dissolve it away.

MICROSCALE
Microscale Micro-Gloss Coat...
$10.99
$12.99
The Micro Coat finishes are more than just a pretty look. This is one tough finish, and a real breakthrough in a modern formulation of water reducible acrylic resin. For models that get a lot of handling this is the answer. Even the Micro Coat Flat and Micro Coat Satin continue to look like new after a great deal of handling. One of the main reasons for the Micro Coat finishes is that they are the ideal way to be sure that your Microscale Decals perform up to their potential for realism. Micro Coat Clear gives you a 'wet look' shine that replicates the new synthetic paint used on the real thing. It is also the answer for a glossy base necessary for decaling. All the Micro Coat Finishes use the same water clear acrylic resin, which is tough and flexible and adheres strongly to paint and plastic. It is rated to last at least twenty years under ordinary conditions, for models this should be forever.


MICROSCALE
Microscale Micro-Sol Decal ...
$10.99
$12.99
Micro Sol setting solution is for the most difficult irregular surfaces to be found on models. It completely softens the Microscale Decal, allowing it to drape down onto the surface of the model, conforming perfectly to surface irregularities without distortion. The most amazing results in seemingly impossible places are possible because Micro Sol actually makes the decal part of the painted surface. For that reason, you should coat Micro Sol on for only a few seconds and then leave it alone. It does the work. Do not touch until the decal has dried, as the decal is very soft at this stage and could be easily damaged. For the best results, first apply Micro Sol to prepare the surface and enhance the adhesive. Make sure the surface is free of particles that could get under the decal's film and cause a blemish. Then, when everything is dry enough that the decal will not move easily, apply Micro Sol with a small flat brush. Apply with as few strokes as possible so a not to disturb the decal. Then allow the decal to dry without disturbing it. One application is enough in most cases but, if necessary, a second application of Micro Sol can be helpful.


MICROSCALE
Microscale Micro-Set Decal ...
$10.99
$12.99
Micro Set is a very versatile decal setting solution that does several things to Microscale Decals to improve application. Micro Set should be applied to the surface of the model where you will be sliding the decal off the paper backing. Micro Set prepares the surface with special wetting agents that cut the oils in new paint and converts the adhesive on the back of the decal to a stronger and longer lasting one. In addition, Micro Set slightly softens the decal film to make it more flexible so that it will conform better to the model's surface. Better adhesion of the decal to the model prevents tiny air bubbles from forming and results in an invisible carrier film for the so-called "painted on look." To apply Micro Set: Use a soft flat artist's brush and apply Micro Set where you are going to apply the decal. Then slide the decal off the backing paper using a small pointed tip synthetic bristle brush to carefully position the decal in its proper position. Blot the decal carefully with a tissue or paper toweling, being careful not to disturb its position. Allow the decal to dry overnight. It will then be ready for a protective coat of Micro Coat Flat, Satin or Gloss.
