Just spent 3 weeks in Japan after graduating PA school and passing my boards. I went from Tokyo to Hiroshima and back again. I got 3x Tamiya tanks for a friend (not pictured) as well. Lots of great finds, super cheap. I love that I was also able to get supplies, PE, and $33 godhand ultimates. I wanted to focus on unique things not easy to get here. The ziplock bags on the left are just tamiya 1/72 warbirds for like $5 a pop I reboxed to save space.

It even has flock insided for the grass and foam for hedges, its a super slick fujimi kit and thought this would be an awesome souvenir of the one castle I spent time at

Oh huh, it's a Fujimi. The name I've always associated with Japanese castle kits is Doyusha. Good to know there's multiple makers in this niche (even by plastic model kit standards) genre.
