Platz is distributing multiple plastic model kits in Japan through the end of 2026, including two aircraft kits in December 2026, a Porsche 935 K2 kit with a detail-up set in December 2026, and three Moebius Models Chevrolet kits starting in November 2026.
Platz's recent activity centers on the Japanese distribution and release of plastic model kits across aircraft, automotive, and American car subjects, all scheduled for late 2026. The earliest of the three stories places Platz as the importer and seller of Moebius Models' 1/25 scale Chevrolet kits, with sales in Japan starting in November 2026. That arrangement covers the 1963 Chevrolet Nova SS Convertible, the 1963 Chevrolet Nova SS Coupe, and the 1978 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Landau Coupe.
Two days later, coverage shifted to a Platz and BEEMAX collaboration on a 1/24 scale Porsche 935 K2 kit, priced at 5,720 yen and set for December 2026. The same story pairs the kit with a dedicated detail-up parts set at 2,970 yen, also due that month, adding etched brake discs, wiper parts, and seatbelt fittings. Markings cover car numbers 70 and 51, with Behr sponsor decals included.
The most recent story adds two aircraft kits to the December 2026 slate: a 1/72 F/A-18E Super Hornet with VFA-137 Kestrels 2025 CAG markings at 5,940 yen, and a 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero Fighter Model 21 in Tainan Naval Air Group livery at 6,380 yen. The Zero Fighter uses Eduard-made parts. Across the three stories, Platz's role varies from importer of another maker's kits to co-release partner on the Porsche and seller of aircraft kits built on other makers' airframes and decal work with its own instructions.
