From the legendary shooting game Ikaruga, the 2P player’s ship, Ginkei, makes its long-awaited return as a highly detailed plastic model kit for advanced builders. Celebrated for its striking duality-based design and minimalist elegance, Ginkei is reborn in 1/144 scale with exceptional fidelity and refinement.

Originally sculpted as a garage kit prototype by Hiroshi Iseya, this model has been thoroughly revised and enhanced by Yasushi Suzuki, the original designer of Ikaruga. The result is a definitive interpretation of Ginkei, featuring sharpened proportions, enriched surface detail, and a level of sculpting complexity rarely seen in kits of this size. Designed specifically with experienced modelers in mind, the kit preserves fine mechanical and panel details that would typically be simplified or omitted in standard releases.

The model allows the small wings to be deployed or retracted via part swapping, while the landing arm can also be recreated through interchangeable components. Fuselage patterns are realized through a combination of molded detail and decals, ensuring an accurate and visually striking finish. Also included is an exclusive rubble-style display base designed by Yasushi Suzuki, enhancing the dramatic atmosphere of the piece. The package artwork is likewise illustrated by Suzuki himself, making this release a complete celebration of Ikaruga’s iconic design.

Despite its compact size—measuring just 155mm in length—Ginkei delivers some of the finest detailing ever achieved in a Kotobukiya plastic model kit, making it a standout centerpiece for fans of the genre and serious model builders alike.

Adhesives are required to assemble this kit.
