HAFS Jerry and SAFS MK3 Raccoon

They look great. What kits are they and where can I find them? I have not built a Sci Fi kit before but I would like to build a Star Ship Trooper MI suit (from the book not the movie)

Thanks for the kind words!, The only thing I can tell you is that they are from the Maschinen Krieger zbv 3000 series from Japan.These kits have been around since the 1980`s and are slowly gaining popularity in the U.S.
The Starship Trooper stuff may be found at www.trooperpx.com and the Ma.K info you seek can be found at www.maschinenkrieger.com and at www.roboterkampf.com. I hope this helps!

I am aware of 2 kits of the Starship Trooper suit, neither I think is based on the Book.

1.) Studio Nue/Kaiyodo, soon to be reissued by Wave, 1/12 and bassicaly an action figure that needs to be assembled and painted.
2.) Bandai did a Soft Vinyl figure based on the Starship trooper Manga, now harder to come by.

Stipp,
Too cool, man! I love those Nitto Ma.K. fighting suits! The look great.
I've got one, generously donated by a mate in the USA......can't wait to build it.

I couldn't help but be impressed by your SF builds and the pertinant websites included. I just finished a new modeling shop and looking through my kits- I'm down to my last Nitto S.F.3.D. I'm hoping to start building, bashing and scratching again soon. Thanks, JP

Thanks Guy! If you think those were cool, look for the Pak Krote post and check it out along with the skinhead scratchbuild! I had a lot of fun with that winter scene.
