The 30th Anniversary G.Kit Series: No. 010

🎬 [From 2年B組シリーズ (Class 2 Group B)]

Manufacturer: B-Club
Scale: Marked as 1/6. Actual 1/8.
Plastic Type: Garage Kit (G.Kit)
Year of purchase: 1993
Year of modelling fulfilment: 2022.12 (waited for 29 years to be completed)

Be honest, back in 1993. Before I got this G.Kit. I'd never heard of the Class 2 Group B series. It doesn't exist neither in the anime nor in the comics world. It's due to the kits's appearance is very similar to Anice Farm from Sonic Soldier Borgman who is one of my favourite character. So I bought it.

Later, I learnt that so called Class 2 Group B series is nothing more than a concept series created directly by Michitaka Kikuchi (菊池通隆). There's no book, gallery, movie or any media about the Class 2 Group B series. It sounds very weird. And why B-Club would manufacture a G.kit for this non-existed concept series has become an unexplainable question to all us even up to now.

One thing is very weird about the kit is that in the description printed on the box. It marks the scale is 1/6. But actually the size is 1/8 scale. I spent a 2 weeks to complete the painting. I referenced the colors used from an illustration printing comes with the package as in below (see illustration).

Well, such a pretty swimsuit girl deserves not just a wood base, but a beach 😉. So I get her a beach with some waves around... nice 😇 . I always treat girls very gentle and very nice 🤣. Making of the scene base used additional 3 days to complete with another 50% of space reserved for the next G.Kit to onboard the base later.

1/8 Arisa Aida
An conceptual character by Michitaka Kikuchi.

As I recall correctly. Anice Farm from Sonic Soldier Borgman has a similar swimsuit before.
The style of swimsuit is kind of sexy presented in a very stylish way.

Anice Farm (another character also created by Michitaka Kikuchi)
A legendary swimsuit in 90's anime.

Don't ask me why I added a Cocacola logo. Because I just love soft drink. 🤣

I created some waves on the beach.

In the Class 2 Group B series. There're a total of 4 x G.Kit girls manufactured by B-Club.
I got 2 of them (Left: 1/8 Miyuki Ijuin and Right: Arisa Aida).
