This is a brand-new, fully assembled HO gauge model of the JR Hokkaido Kiha 182-500 T train. Based on the prototype from the early 1980s, this model captures the significant design changes introduced with the Kiha 183 series 500 subseries, including the transition to through-type front cars and distinctive white with red and orange stripe livery. The model faithfully reproduces the appearance of the original debut vehicles from approximately 30 years ago, with detailed features such as etched and pressed body parts, cast bogies (DT53 for most cars, DT47 for Kiha 184), and a cast front end. Interior details include cab and passenger compartments, illuminated with white LED interior lighting, and LED headlights, tail lights, and front nameplates. The power unit is installed in the intermediate car Kiha 182-500, equipped with a Canon EN22 motor and ACE gear system, ensuring smooth operation. The set includes transfer decals for numbering, markings, and green car marks, along with side signs scaled for 1/80. Perfect for creating realistic, long-distance express train formations like "Oozora" and "Hokuto" within Hokkaido.
