Scroll down until you see the pics of the Voyager ship. I can’t read Japanese but I tried Babelfish translation. The name of Bandai does appear and there is a mentioning of a “D type” in the text above the pics.
Can someone translate?
The Phaser strip looks a bit “heavy” to me and the panel lines look a bit wide.
Dude, that has to be the old playmates toy, Not only is it not bandai standards but playmates is known for making things look like crap. Did you ever see their enterise e?
I have all of Bandai’s kits so far and have been very happy with them. but when I was trying to translate this website, it’s hard to read, even in english. The words Bandai and “D type” and the pictures all are in the same paragraph.
J-Hulk, can you check this out in the above link? Bandai is supposed to be announcing their next Star Trek kits at the model show this weekend.
