my80malibu Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I like the Skateboards, & the Helicopter. Some neat little add ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faust Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 The way in which the Japanese interpret the use of vans as Street Machines is so wildly different from that in North America! It makes these customized vans really something else to look at. I think the Helicopter is neat, too, but from a custom van point of view, I really don't get it. It's a shame these aren't repopped so that more people could get their hands on them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpiguy Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Here's another one in recently picked up Has some type of CB radio and lamp on a desk in the back. "I'm on yer street, stalkin' yer wife!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faust Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Yeah, that's what I was thinking!What is this thing? Is it a HAM Radio thing, an aircraft fanboy airband scanner van, a Pirate Radio station or a mobile repair dock for Johnny 5? It's curious, cool and creepy... all at the same time! Well done Nichimo!

Atmobil Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Ahh...I really want all of these vans. I wish they could be reissued some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faust Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Nichimo doesn't still exist, does it? I haven't seen a Nichimo kit in a while. In fact, the last one I saw was the 1/200 VF-1 Valkyrie I got a few years ago!I wonder what ever happened to these awesome moulds. They must be somewhere, right? I think it's time that Round 2 started digging up vintage Japanese moulds too. Anyone out there at Round 2 listening? I'll take some MAD POLICE and crazy street vans right now, thank you very much!

Don Sikora II Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Nichimo supposedly went out of business in September 2013. Haven't heard if their molds were sold to another company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faust Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Wow, Nichimo lasted that long, eh? I'm actually pretty surprised by that. I do hope that there's one day going to be a Japanese company that's the equivalent to our Round 2 that will repop these awesome kits. On that note, I wonder if Round 2 would consider branching out across the pond, so to speak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
