Hasegawa, a popular model/hobby kit company has just announced a 1/72 scale model, titled "Last Exile vanship unit equipped with torpedo" set to be released on October 30th for 3600yen. Dimensions for this model will be 195mm width and 87mm width/wingspan. Included will be miniature figures of Claus and Dio that sit in the vanship.

From the TV anime Last Exile, episode 20, "Grand Stream." This kit is the military vanship piloted by Claus. The machine is an aircraft equipped with a steam propelled torpedo that can be fired by a outrigger on the bow. The front seat is occupied by Claus, with Dio in the rear, from when the two sortied out into the Grand Stream. Makoto Kobayashi will be responsible for the package illustration of the kit.

The resin parts will be the steam powered torpedo and the Claus & Dio figured. And it will have three decals: Claus' vanship, Tatiana's vanship, or a general vanship.

Basically UNIT 5 MODEL FROM THE GRAND STREAM OPERATION, woo hoo!

Did anyone here buy it? It's sold out now, but you can still get Tatianas red vanship + Fam and Giselle's Vespa :)

That is awesome. I want one but I don't have anywhere to put something like that, that my cats wouldn't be able to get their paws on it.
