【Story】
Year 2090.
Not long after the rapid development of AI, the line between humans and machines was almost indistinguishable and technology to predict the future was taken for granted.
The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) was the first to equip a new type of autonomous tank with a highly accurate future prediction AI.
While most people shied away from this technology and its near-human-level personality and communication skills, Captain Natsuki Kukuri nicknames her own unit “Nacchin” and treats it as an equal member of her team.
One day, while Natsuki and Nacchin are on duty, a sudden incident occurs that changes the world. What they once knew had been altered and fractured, resulting in the strange world they now find themselves in.
Finding that they are the only ones aware of this strange phenomenon, Natsuki and Nacchin set off in search of both an explanation and a way to turn things back.

【Setting】
A new autonomous tank equipped with a highly accurate future prediction support AI.
This model has adopted Type 07 composite heat-resistant armor that is lighter than the previous model, and has dramatically improved operational time.
Using the various multi-joints across the model, Nacchin can be combined with various expansion units to suit any mission. These units include the search unit, which features ultra-sensitive sensors and enhanced communication capabilities in the form of cat ears, and the lightweight shoulder light shields, which have built-in needle guns with high penetrating power.
With its multi-control device, the cockpit seat is the latest unit and is compatible with the current autonomous tank, Type 06-Ⅲ Tank Roku.

Model Specifications:
・New equipment parts were sculpted using CAD data created by Nacchin’s original designer Moi.
・This model is a high-spec, full-action model kit with 66 points of articulation.
・This kit includes a cat ear search unit that can be attached to the head. The cockpit can be opened without removing the unit.
・This kit includes shoulder light shields as a replacement for the regular shoulder shields. The base of the shields can rotate up and down and the hatch of the needle gun can open.
・The cockpit seat sits inside Nacchin. The design allows it to be placed inside Nacchin after assembly as well.
・This kit includes a sitting Natsuki Kukuri pilot figure for use in the cockpit. It also comes with two head parts: with goggles and without goggles.
・This kit includes a standing Natsuki Kukuri figure exclusive to this kit.
*The included figures are unpainted.
・This model comes with WEAPON UNIT03 GRENADE LAUNCHER & DAGGER (otherwise unavailable) in a Nacchin series exclusive color scheme. It can be equipped by using Nacchin’s weapon-holding hand.
・The original designer of Nacchin, Moi, reviewed the color scheme and updated the two green colors of the main body. Place this Nacchin alongside previous versions to enjoy the difference.
・The runners for the kit are made in seven different colors, making it easy to assemble the model in its original color scheme with no painting required.
・This model is equipped with 18 connection points for 3mm joints. This allows Nacchin to be freely customized with parts from other series such as M.S.G.
・The “Eye Panel Part (Looking Forward)” is pre-painted with blue eyes on a black background.
・The kit includes three additional blank eye panel parts which can be affixed with the included decals to create a variety of expressions.
