ABOUT
Too real to be a model.
I am a Japanese model builder specializing in 1/43 scale racing cars.
My work focuses on finishing commercially available metal and resin kits with the highest possible fidelity to the original vehicles.
Every model is carefully assembled, painted, and detailed to faithfully capture the character of the original vehicle.
