More background info about Ma.K here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maschinen_Krieger_ZbV_3000
Brainchild of modeler and artist Kow Yokoyama, celebrated in Japan but still a little on the dark side in the west, Ma.K has a steadily increasing number of fans so that even big companies like Hasegawa have jumped onto the bandwagon. Which suits me just fine!
The box:
What's inside
There are 2 sprues with the main body parts:
3 sprues of additional parts:
1 sprue for the pilot figures:
A Haseg-quality instruction sheet (with a MaK flavor):
Decal sheet:
And a card with the variants proposed, 2 on each side:
It is interesting to note the the card is the 'card file' type with a tab on the edge that goes to make up a file together with other such cards from other Haseg kits.
Details are a bit of a letdown, especially for that scale. Nothing that the dedicated detailer can't remedy, however, but for sure he's got his work cut out for him. But hey, I love detailing so no problem and this is a great kit anyway! And yes, this is a P-38 supercharger! I don't know how many kits Yokoyama cannibalized to kitbash the first Falke but the P-38 was used big time for the booms and other areas of the kit.
