Product Description
- Masterpiece 16 Series 1/80 16.5mm Gauge Metal Kit
[About the prototype]
This commuter train was manufactured as the successor to the 3500 series, with a total of 54 cars manufactured in nine six-car sets between 1982 and 1989.
From 1997, this model was converted to an 8-car formation.
Three 6-car trains were disassembled and the remaining 6-car trains were combined to form six 8-car motor unit trains.
Four of the surplus control cars were electrified using the VVVF inverter control system to form a new 6-car train, resulting in six 8-car trains using field chopper control and one 6-car train using VVVF inverter control.
Since then, they have been gradually scrapped since 2017, but the 3688 train has been returned to its original 6-car configuration and restored to its original fire orange stripe, and continues to be in active service.
In addition, two of the VVVF-controlled 6-car SaHa cars have been scrapped, and the 4-car locomotive, affectionately known as Turbo-kun, continues to be in service.
For this project, we will be producing the prototypes of the 6-car 3688 train, which will allow you to enjoy the look of the train when it was first introduced and in active service, and the 4-car Turbo-kun 3668 train.
The train has a Tokyu body and is VVVF controlled, and currently consists of four cars.
At the time of the modification, new bogies, FS562, were manufactured.
This is a new product that will be sold.
[Kit Overview]
The nickel silver etching plate precisely reproduces the stainless steel body.
The front part is also reproduced mainly using etched parts, with an emphasis on sharpness.
Even without painting, you can recreate the texture of a stainless steel vehicle.
The rooftop ventilators and underfloor equipment are made of white metal and are all included in the kit.
The rooftop antenna, jumper plugs, and other parts are meticulously reproduced using Lost Parts.
Power components, pantographs, couplers, etc. are not included in the kit.
The pantograph is compatible with PT-48.
