Speed Racer Mach 5 Model Kit

 

Speed Racer Mach 5

 

A resin Speed Racer Mach 5 kit, from Streamline Productions. It is a pretty good kit. A heavy resin example, the the resin being somewhat soft, or sandy like. I painted it Testors Bright White.

The kit did not require any donor parts. It came with the saws in the front, though they are static. I chose to build the kit with them installed. Both the saws and wheels are metal (pot metal?). The front headlamps covers and windshield are vacuum formed.

It is actually a little larger than the newer Polar Lights Mach 5s. So that example is probably more 1/32 scale. It is a curbside as well, there is no "hood" to speak of. The decals were included and went on nicely.

  • Manga: 60 Years of Japanese Comics - Manga: Sixty Years of Japanese Comics presents an accessible, entertaining, and highly-illustrated introduction to the development and diversity of Japanese comics from 1945 to the present. Featuring striking graphics and extracts from a wide range of manga, the book covers such themes as the specific attributes of manga in contrast to American and European comics; the life and career of Osamu Tezuka, creator of Astro Boy and originator of story manga; boys' comics from the 1960s to the present; the genres and genders of girls' and women's comics; the darker, more realistic themes of gekiga -- violent samurai, disturbing horror and apocalyptic science fiction; issues of censorship and protest; and manga's role as a major Japanese export and global influence.
  • Kimba White Lion - One of the most wonderful and uniquely styled Japanese anime programs that aired in Japan during 1965 and later aired in syndication during Saturday mornings in the U.S. in 1966, returns to American audiences on DVD. That program is 'Kimba' which was produced by the legendary Japanese animator "Osamu Tezuka". Originally produced in Japan as the 'Jungle Emperor', this animated program was licensed and later aired in the U.S. So popular was this series that other "Osamu Tezuka" animations were released in the U.S. "Osamu Tezuka" has been credited for pioneering and creating the demand for Japanese Anime programs in the United States and in other countries.
  • Speed Racer: The Original Manga - If you read a lot of recent manga, comic books, or graphic novels, the stories may seem a bit simple and the drawings may seem a little crude. However, they're still good stories, and the flavor of the era in which they were written really comes across. recommend this book to anyone who loves Speed Racer or manga in general !
