JAPAN DREAM SHOP IN TOKYO 1/18 aircrafts (+ various scales)
Hello to all my 1/18 friends. After spending years on this forum and dreaming the HPH museums models i've been confronted to the hard reality : this is out of my league ! But during a recent business trip to TOKYO i've been able to see my dream up close in this shop :

Through some difficult communication it was forbidden to take picture inside the shop but the lineup of 1/18 planes, 1/32 jets and 1/350 to 1/72 boats was simply incredible
All the models range between 1000 us $ and 7-9000 us $ !!!!

All in 1/18 :
3 messer Me 109 with engine + a late model Spitfire ..... no comment simply perfects !!!!!
More important is that almost any model is possible with some civil small planes for exemple !

jet guy
being interested mainly in planes i was mesmerized by some models but the shop is very small and packed with models : 20 x 1/18 models from corsair to T33 to He219 (the most impressive) plus 50 x 1/32 planes from buccaneer to tornado & F15 ... and 100 X different scale (exemple 1/72 neptune or 1/72 space shuttle...) the biggest pieces were 1/100 to 1/350 imperial navy warship (battleship & aircraft carrier !) i am sorry but i was not allowed to take pictures of 2 super big WW2 submarines (2 meters long = 6 feet !!!)
as you can see it's really packed ! my favorite was the skeleton zero & T33 (since i like jets ...)
but the prices were a little steep !!!!
