Japanese garage kits back in the '80s and '90s featured a lot of unlicensed vinyl models. Mostly figures but also vehicles. A few have recently been reissued and are even licenced now. That's the case with this Chibi Godzilla I picked up last year. Made by Kaiyodo, it even has a trademark registration on it.

It's a simple kit, just three parts.

The excess vinyl gets trimmed off. They generally put in some cut lines to help guide you.

Tail and lower body press fit together.

Then add the upper body and the assembly is done.

Now the fun part- the paint job.
