--Masterpiece 16 Series 1/80 16.5mm Gauge Metal Kit
[About the prototype]
――At Keisei Electric Railway, vehicles operated only on their own lines were painted with a combination of shades of green after the war and were called Seiden.
――Since 1959, with the entry of the Toei Asakusa Line, the gauge has been changed and Akaden will appear.
――In this project, in order to reproduce the nostalgic Aoden era, the appearance of the last years, we will model the 4-car train of Kuha 2100 type and Moha 210 type that remained as [Aoden] format until the end.
――The 2100 series is a semi-steel single-cabin control car manufactured by Kisha Seizo and Teikoku Sharyo Kogyo in 1952-3.
――From 1962 to 1964, the car body was completely metallized, the front window and door pocket window were made of H rubber, and the other window frames were made of aluminum.
――However, the front window and door pocket window are characterized by their angular shape and dents around them, and they were shaped to show the remnants of the wooden frame era.
--The 210 type was a drive vehicle for both cabs manufactured in 1932.
--In 1967, it was renewed as a completely intermediate electric car 210 type, 211 --219, and both the body and suspension were almost completely newly manufactured.
――At this time, the following 4-car train will appear as a fixed train in combination with the 2100 series.
* In this project, the 4-car train of this era will be commercialized as the previous term type.
--In 1970, a special repair of the Kuha 2100 series was carried out, and the side plate of the body was replaced.
――The dent on the door pocket window has disappeared, and the shape of the front window has been recovered.
――The number of headlights has increased to two, and there have been changes in the size of the anti-climber and the squareness of the taillights.
――This type was changed to Fire Orange [Akaden] paint in the 1980s, and was active until it was scrapped in 1988.
――The 2102 formation was finally reprinted with the `Aoden` color as the` Goodbye 2100/210 type`.
* In this project, the 4-car train of this era will be commercialized as a late type.
