Hasegawa 1/20 Ma.K. GRIFFON — Pkf.85bis

Kit + WBE-002 Studio Reference — Three Configurations Overview The GRIFFON is the definitive FALKE. The lineage runs like this: the original FALKE entered combat and proved itself — fast, agile, decisive. Field teams upgraded early units with EXCIMER laser cannons to address firepower limitations. Those upgrades worked, but introduced new problems: decreased agility, limited long-range sighting. A localised field upgrade kit resolved them — larger stabilisers, enhanced cockpit armor, and the Type K-14 indirect telescope gunsight. The first machine to carry that full configuration into combat was designated J665: GRIFFON. The "bis" variant. Fully resolved. The version the platform had been working toward. This is also the subject of WBE-002 — the second volume in the Paint on Plastic Workbench Edition series, and the most complete studio documentation of the FALKE platform in English. The Kit — Hasegawa 1/20 Pkf.85bis GRIFFON The GRIFFON kit includes the full upgrade parts that define the bis configuration: EXCIMER laser cannon Enhanced cockpit armor Reinforced, larger stabilisers Type K-14 indirect telescope gunsight Same 1/20 FALKE chassis as the Bomber Cat — different machine.
