1/144
scale kumamoto castle
Shingam (神瞰) means ‘seeing through God’s eyes’ and the concept is to recreate everything about Kumamoto Castle.
As an architectural plastic model, it is suitable for the ignorant scale of 1/144, which is outside the standard.
At the time of release around 2010, the price was 25,000 yen.
When completed, the monster kit is 29.5cm tall and 40cm wide, with a total of 580 parts.
It seems that the company put a lot of effort into releasing a special color exclusively for this kit.
…but
Because it didn’t sell
The first and last sinking of Kumamoto Castle
Officials say the reason for the failure is
“No one wanted a real-grade plastic model of Kumamoto Castle.”
