New GreenMax JR103 series Kansai type Kumoha 103/Moha 102

I got my first JR103 kit from GreenMax its a pretty nice kit with no painting needed. Just add the details bogies, Glass, decals and you're done. Not quite you need to drill some holes and fit the glass into the cabin. It's pretty involved for a noob like me but it came out pretty decently. All I need is a motor unit to go with it and I'm in happy land. Below are some build pics of the JR103 Series from GreenMax.

Some more N scale goodness from Japan

This delivery is the latest installment of delivery from Japan which I think will have the last of my Koki acquisitions. I got a nice 2-car JR 103 kit from GreenMax which looks really nice and I'm looking forward to putting it together. I also got the final set of TOYOTA containers to complete a Koki set. There are some nice TOMYTEC Sagawa trucks in this delivery and finally a Kato case for extra Koki.
