It’s been an exciting week as our model kit partner, Bellfine just showed off the painted prototype of the Type 33 Heikegani Model Kit at the Shizuoka Hobby Show!

Bellfine also teased the next tankhead that’s about to be turned into a model kit! Those who are familiar with the series might recognize that distinct silhouette. Can you guess which one it is?

On top of that, Dengeki Hobby, one of the biggest hobby magazines in Japan, recently did a featurette on TANKHEAD on their site. You can check out their article here.

The 1/48 scale model kit is set to open sometime Summer 2026, and is set to release the end of this year. Do follow us or sign up for our newsletter to keep up to date with more info for the kit!
