About
From the early Showa period, when there was no plastic model, after the end of the war, there were boys who carved wood and made models by themselves.
These models are all of amazing quality models that are close to the taste of the actual machine and are arranged according to the scale.
A model that takes a minimum of about half a year, 2-3 years, and passion to collect materials, collect images, draw drawings, and carve out from a piece of board. This manufacturing has been handed down to this world by a few enthusiasts.
Among such models, there are many modelers in Japan who are producing models at the level of being exhibited in museums. That is the museum modeler.
A collection of works by three prominent people in this modeler.
S-BON Shoichi Tanaka, Saiunkai Shozo Obunai, and Toshiyuki Kondo, Nagoya.
Unfortunately, there are few successors to this.
This is because, in addition to skilled manual work, there are a wide variety of skills required for data collection, material collection, wood processing, metal microfabrication, fine painting, etc., and it will not be a high-quality work immediately.
Now, the work is about to disappear due to the aging of the skilled people.
Based on this era, the MUSEUM site was opened.
I would like to reaffirm the existence of the work and reconsider the creation of Japanese products.

The main body of the work is a US military aircraft. The scale is mainly 1/50 and large models such as 1 / 32.1/25.
The sharpness of the aircraft is the best. There are many work aircraft unique to Solid Model.
The reality of super-large aircraft such as AirForce one, Lock Heed EC-121K, and Rockwell B-1B is also characteristic, and the 1/50 scale wing surface is like a metal finish.
It is a solid modeler that makes an aircraft full of charm for collectors.
