It's here! The 1/20 upgrade kit to turn your hoarded Wave Fireball into Kow's classic SAFS space type variant, New Fireball just by adding Kato san's resin parts. He's engineered the boots to be removable simply by adding magnets. The Rainbow Egg kit come with a handsome decal sheet too. You'll need a 1/20 Wave Fireball, Seapig or Snake Eye to get the job done.

NEW FIREBALL - Rainbow Egg set to develop new SAFS space type conversion kit!

Now that I have all the parts to scratch build the boots...

Big news from Kato san and Rainbow Egg this morning on FB-

Kato san will begin to develop Kow's New Fireball design (from I believe the 80's) which contains blazing rocket boots and interesting upper SAFS body to work with Wave's Seapig, Fireball and Snake Eye. What will make this kit different from other garage kits offered at past WF is Kato san will try to engineer the kit so the boots are removable.  This opens up the possibility for great dio's and story telling.

It's not clear yet if the conversion kit will be available through Rainbow Egg's mail order or be a WF offering only.  Stay tuned or check http://blog.rainbow-egg.net/
