This 15616 kit recreates the legendary Samseongyo Academy storefront — the iconic Seoul retail branch where Korean hobbyists discovered their first model kits since the 1970s. A meta-tribute by Academy to its own brand heritage and the bricks-and-mortar shops that nurtured the Korean hobby community.PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONSBrandAcademyModel Code (MPN)15616 (Standard Edition)Set ConfigurationSingle Unit / Unassembled Diorama KitMaterialInjection-Molded Plastic (MCP)Scale1/24Box Size (L x W x H)300 x 220 x 90 mmWeight~600 gCountry of ManufactureKorea, Republic ofRelease Year2022 (New Tool)WHAT’S IN THE BOXKit Contents1MCP Multi-Color Plastic Parts2Detailed Storefront Facade3Decal Sheet (Korean & English signage)4Display Window Frames & Glass Parts5Illustrated Assembly Manual6Rigid Display Base Glue and paints are not included — sold separately.

Expect 8–12 hours of build time. Thanks to MCP Multi-Color Parts, painting is optional — you can build a presentable diorama using only the pre-colored parts and decals.Q2. What scale figures and cars can I pair with this diorama?A. This is 1/24 scale. It pairs perfectly with any 1/24 car kit (such as Academy 15137 Hyundai Pony 1975), 1/24 motorcycles, or 1/24 figures. The storefront façade serves as an ideal backdrop for Korean retro automotive dioramas.Q3. What about US customs and import duties?A. For US buyers, we ship under Delivered Duty Paid (DDP). All duties and import taxes are prepaid — no surprise fees at delivery.Q4. Can I add LED lighting to this kit?A. Yes. Academy produces a dedicated LED KIT (model 15616LE LED) that fits both the Standard and Limited Edition versions of this storefront. Sold separately by Academy through hobby retailers.
