Default Beautiful non-flying scale Japanese rocket kit

Coming soon from Aoshima is a great looking, non-flying plastic kit of the H-IIB in 1/350 scale, with launch gantry, tractors, and a really cool transparent plastic fire-n-smoke piece you can put under the kit for blast-off. Nice photo at Hobbylink Japan:

Looks like it comes with a little fairing fragment as well!

Yeah, those Japanese folks don't miss a beat. Just watch 'Spirited Away'!
You could probably hook up an LED under that plastic piece and give it some launch light.

That's on purchase list as is this one: H-IIB launch vehicle. Neat display base and a transparent payload section with payload.
