My personal favorite, Nakajima J5N1 "Tenrai", Racoon Models 1/48, by Ikeda-san

The booth of All-Japan Solid Model Group (a get-together of solid model groups from around Japan) had some really spectacular models.

 BEST model of the show was the Mitsubishi Ki-46 "Dinah" by Ichioka-san.

In 1/32 ALL scratch built. Ichikoa-san had been working on the model for more than ten years!!!! The canopy is removable to show the super detailed cockpit. Engine and wheel wells are also super detailed.
