Wow, this is the first time I've seen a Japanese female kit item that was not dressed up as an over-developed school girl with a machine gun. 

That's why I'd like to get one, or more, if I can.

Maschinen Krieger is a science fiction series of kits, created by a Japanese graphic artist back in the 80s.  He drew illustrations of armored fighting suits and various vehicles and machines.  He's also a modeler, so he kit-bashed models based on his illustrations.  He used 1/20 racing figures, as well as Micronauts, to make figures for his models.

And we have the same issue for female figures, as you describe.  There are very good ones, ones that look "real", if you get my meaning, like real depictions of women in combat or other frontline roles.  Then there are others that are practically pinups.  For me, they don't work in dioramas or vignettes.  This one is perfect; it would take very little modification to use her with some of the kits.

"Why do I do this? Because the money's good, the scenery changes and they let me use explosives, okay?"

She's got all sorts of decals too. better get those. 

I'm always on the lookout for new 1/20 scale figures, to go with Maschinen Krieger kits.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Hi, all,

 

If anyone should happen to buy Hasegawa's recent re-release of its 1/700 DDG Myoko kit, seen here at 1999.co.jp as an example:

and is willing to part with the 1/20 figure included in the kit, please send me a private message, and let me know what you'd want for it.

 

Best regards,

Brad
