Bandai Plastic Model Kit Catalog 1983



I just got this amazing Bandai catalog and decided to scan and share it. There are a lot of great kits on display here, from Xabungle and Gundam to Captain Harlock and Cobra. It was interesting to me to see that Xabungle was given the lead in the catalog and that the non-anime based models like cars and tanks seemed to be given less room and importance. This is the exact opposite of American model catalogs which barely gave any space to non-traditional kits at all. It's also nice that they include a checklist and 82/83 calendar.

I hope that this gives you a good nostalgia buzz and that you find something cool and new.
