The FIREFLY X-K427 is another Kow Yokoyama creation from the Maschinen Krieger series, brought to life (in 1:35 scale) for the SF3D story featured in the Hobby Japan magazine.
As far as the MA.K story goes, the FF is an experimental, anti-gravity fighter developed by the Shutoral forces. It crashed on its maiden flight and was captured
by the Mercenary forces. In reality, the FF is an ecelectic mix of military, gundam, auto kits and ping pong balls (of course).
The FF is one of those designs people either really love or really hate. At 1:35 studio scale, it is sized perfectly measuring 15" x 12".
Kow Yokoyama's original Firefly from 1983.
