[Return of Ultraman] Special Edition with 3 Types of Decals Included! MAT Arrow No.2 Arrives in 1/72 Scale with a Focus on Easy Assembly!

The moment many people hear the name “MAT Arrow No.2,” they can probably already picture that launch sequence playing in their minds. As one of the iconic machines representing the early part of Return of Ultraman, this aircraft was more than just a vehicle—it served almost as the very signal that a mission was about to begin. The experience of being able to assemble such a symbolic machine with your own hands is far more special than one might expect.

One essential aspect when discussing the appeal of this kit is its convertible specification. Whether you choose to build it in its standard form or as the captain’s aircraft, the ability to decide for yourself makes the creative process already feel like “crafting a scene” from the very beginning. The yellow line decals and exclusive weapon parts do more than simply provide variations—they stimulate your imagination by making you think about “which scene you want to recreate.”

This model was designed around faithfully recreating the shape of the filming prop used in the series, giving the completed form a unique sense of authenticity. The balance between its somewhat nostalgic silhouette and the intricate detailing is exquisite, offering a charm that goes beyond simple precision. Additionally, the included missile and rocket pod weapon parts alter the aircraft’s appearance, allowing you to enjoy different impressions depending on the viewing angle.

The parts composition is kept relatively simple, making it approachable even for people trying an aircraft model for the first time. At the same time, the finished model still delivers a strong sense of presence, resulting in a build that feels deeply satisfying on its own. This perfect balance—not overly difficult, yet never lacking—is likely one of the reasons why it appeals to so many people.

The included marking decals are silk-screen printed to improve both color vibrancy and durability, allowing even fine lines and markings to be reproduced sharply. This greatly enhances the finished appearance and guides the model toward a more realistic result. Another notable feature is the included display base, which allows the aircraft to be displayed in flight mode. Simply placing it on a desk creates a sense of motion, as though it is slicing through the sky.

The appeal of this kit does not lie solely in the completed model. As you pick up the parts and gradually assemble them, memories and scenes from the series naturally begin to resurface. That time transforms from a simple task into “time spent engaging with the work itself.” Combined with the sense of accomplishment upon completion, the experiences gained throughout the process make this model feel even more special.
