Hobby Japan SF3D magazine

Hobby Japan SF3D magazine Review


As promised, book review number one! :)

This is a compilation of pictures, force charts, illustrations with additional SF3D story by Hobby Japan. The indivitual SF3D articles which appeared in individual Hobby Japan magazine are collected and put together. However, as I've read through some Hobby Japan magazines, the articles/illustrations are not the full set as found in the individual ones.
Regardless, this magazine is very cool in that it contains tons of reference material that cannot be found in the newer Ma.K books... A must get for all Ma.K fanatics!
It can be found at YAJ and the price ranges from 2000yen all the way to 7000+ yen.
Just sold my copy to a Ma.K forum member... :)

138 pages.

Contents:
Act1 Operation Super Hummer (pictorial story featuring Nutrocker, AFS, Krote, Neuspotter, PKA, Gustav, SAFS, Falke, Hornise, Shekel)
Act2 Operation Peel Banana (pictorial story featuring Banana Boat, Fireball, spaceship)
SF3D story (japanese text + illustrations. This details the story of the war as well as background information about some important people like Eddy Amsel. Can't read Japanese, so ... )
I really enjoyed looking at Kow Sensei's drawings, he drew Eddy quite alot in this book...
