From the Manufacturer
A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import!
For fans of the shooting game Ikaruga (first released by Treasure in arcades in 2001 and then subsequently on Dreamcast, GameCube, and Xbox Live), this is a very exciting time. Kotobukiya is proud to present the main player unit from the game in a brand new Fine Scale Model Kit, IKARUGA WHITE!
Based on an original garage kit by Isetani Hiroshi, then further improved by the original designer Suzuki Yasushi, the Ikaruga is a fantastic futuristic fighter plane and the only weapon able to take down the Horai. A completely unique craft with twin engine pods that absolutely bristles with weaponry, this is a great model kit for intermediate builders with approximately 150 pieces.
Accurate down to the smallest detail, the Ikaruga White features all of the cool mechanical parts you've come to know and love from the game, and as a bonus it includes special homing laser effects parts! The plane is over 6 inches tall (1/144 scale) and can be displayed on a special pyramid-like base decorated with the motif of the game's final boss.
Finally, the Ikaruga White comes packaged in a box decorated with an all new illustration by Suzuki Yasushi.
Most preorders have shipped on Friday of last week and any remaining preorders are shipping this afternoon. Please note the kit requires assembly, paint, glue, and hours upon hours of time in order to put the pieces together so they resemble the ship seen to the left.
