Find Your Favorite Sankei Models
Sankei is well-known for its array of vibrant paper model kits. Paper kits involve assembling pieces of colored paper rather than hard pieces of plastic. Another difference between paper and plastic models is that paper model kits require no painting. Paper kits, especially ones from Sankei, are already fully and vividly colored.
Studio Ghibli scenes are one of Sankei’s specialties. Completing these anime model kits lets you watch as Kiki’s Delivery Service comes to life. Or put together a gorgeous display featuring scenes from My Neighbor Totoro.
