JULY 2025 Editor’s Club Contest

In Recognition of SVSM 62nd Anniversary

“J is for JUST JAPANESE ” 

Another Easy Alphabet Challenge Contest

Premise: Auto, Air, Maritime, Manga and Anime are of course easy choices to find material to compete here. 

Mild restrictions applied however. 

While a goodly number of great subjects are molded, offered by Japanese model companies in the past and on through to today, that basis alone won’t work here

 Sorry, yes the splendid Tamiya aircraft, armor and auto models for non Japanese subjects are not eligible for this event, which also applies to Hasegawa, Bandai, FineMolds, etc items.

If however, one were to say depict an actual captured aircraft, armor vehicle, etc that was thusly employed by Japan, that would be perfectly okay and wouldn’t as well, be penalized if the kit(s) used were not Japanese.

 This also would be acceptable in cases where Hypothetical or madly fantastical fictional premise was employed for your entry subject, so give it some thought.

Gundam subjects may end up as a separate subset for judgement as very likely an abundance could be competing as they neatly fit theme here unquestionably
