| FALKE Pkf.85 |
The Falke is a creation of Kow Yokoyama and is arguably the most popular design in the Maschinen Krieger universe.
No doubt, the Falke's popularity has something to do with the fact it almost joined the suite of Nitto styrene kits back in the 80s.
After discovering the Falke, I found out the only way to get one was to make one from scratch. One thing led to another and
it became my first garage kit. Having learnt a thing or two, I decided to remastered the original pattern 12 months later
and re-released an accurate, light weight resin kit in August 2007.
This Falke is an accurate representation of the original design, featuring a fully detailed boom engine, cockpit interior,
rivets, scribed panel lines and multi-media materials. Impressed by the overall kit, Kow Yokoyama made this version of
the Falke the first offically licensed garage kit in the MaK universe.

| WonderFest 2006 (Japan) |
This is where it all started. It was a mad rush to get a sample to Japan for the Wonderfestival show.
I had my casting service send 2 kits by overnight shipping to my office. I brought glue and tools to work and madly assembled one sample.
Then I rushed off to the post office and sent the kits to our contact in Japan.
