Hasegawa 1/20 Ma.K. FALKE "Bomber Cat" — Limited Edition

Kit + WBE-004 Studio Reference — Three Configurations

Overview

The Bomber Cat is the EXCIMER in operational dress.

Where field teams upgraded early FALKEs with the EXCIMER laser on an ad-hoc basis, the Bomber Cat boxing captures that configuration as a defined, fully equipped variant — complete with the weapon options, decals, and markings that identify the aircraft in combat service with S-JKG500.

This is also the kit that builds directly into the build documented in WBE-004. The EXCIMER Workbench Edition was built from this chassis. Buy the kit, open the guide, build along with the studio.

WBE-004 — EXCIMER Workbench Edition

The WBE is the bench reference. It goes next to the kit while you build.

Full studio documentation of the EXCIMER build — the FALKE platform with the laser upgrade, documented at studio grade from the same chassis as the Bomber Cat boxing. Techniques, decisions, colour methodology, weathering logic. A complete record, not a magazine feature.

Why This Release
