The Tachikoma is scaled to 1:24 and Motoko stands nearly level with the detailed blue mech. Although the Tachikoma ships in kit form, it is easily tinkered together by way of snap-lock assembly which is perfect for those averse to modeling glue... We put together ours last night and it took about 3 hours in between dinner, drinks, and a crowded cab ride back home.

This item is also known as Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. 2nd GIG Tachikoma 1:24 Scale Contruction Kit
JAN Code: 4943209540013

NCS Product Notes
* Illustrated instructions are included for assembling the Tachikoma's arms, legs, body, and pod. Once those are all done, a final illustration shows how to put the parts together into a beautifully modeled Tachikoma.

* Please note that the Tachikoma's exterior parts are colored a flat blue which require metallic paint to mimic the promotional photos that Wave has given out for preorders. The back of the user manual shows which paints are recommended for the Tachikoma as well as Motoko who is colored a light tan color out of the box. We haven't painted our Tachikoma yet but we're thinking of using Arctic Blue Metallic rather than follow the guide's suggestions. We might even go crazy and paint it a metallic black.
