Kotobukiya has posted images and info for a Ghost In The Shell – S.A.C. 2nd Gig – Jigabachi AV Model Kit. This 1/72 scale model kit is due out in October. More details from Kotobukiya:
A Kotobukiya Japanese import! Koto returns to the world of Masamune Shirow’s Ghost in the Shell, a futuristic police thriller dealing with the exploits of Motoko Kusanagi and Section 9, a covert group which specializes in fighting technology-related crime. Helping Section 9 in their exploits are AI-infused mecha and vehicles including the helicopter Jigabachi AV (“Digger Wasp” Advanced)! This new model kit of the Jigabachi is an anime-accurate recreation of the assault helicopter including its deadly Gatling gun that can be folded forward as seen in the show. This incredibly detailed kit requires easy snap-fit assembly, and does not need to be painted, although you may choose to customize or detail the standard gray chopper as you see fit. Measuring at 1/72 scale, the ship is approximately 7 inches long, and it includes a special base (with Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd Gig logo) so that the completed model can be displayed in flight. As a special bonus, each Jigabachi comes with three in-scale blue Tachikoma tanks so you can recreate the memorable action scenes when they face off in episodes 24 and 25 of the anime series!
