Fujimi Models to Unveil First Train-NEXT No-Paint No-Glue Kit at Shizuoka

Fujimi Models revealed plans to unveil the first vehicle kit in their new Train-NEXT series at the Shizuoka Hobby Show, announcing that the innovative plastic model kits require no painting or gluing. Model enthusiasts are speculating it features Enoden trains based on the teaser image, and Fujimi’s booth at the convention center is expected to publish full details during the show today, February 23, 2026.

Fujimi’s company history anchors the announcement. Blackforesthobby notes that Fujimi is “a Japanese manufacturer specializing in plastic model kits of vehicles, ships, aircraft, and structures,” founded in 1948 in Shizuoka, Japan. The firm’s catalog runs from 1:24 scale car kits to 1:700 warships and 1:72 aircraft, and includes specialty kits such as Japanese castles and historical structures. Blackforesthobby also credits Fujimi with “crisp molding, authentic paint schemes, and thoughtful kit engineering that balances ease of assembly with realism,” traits that make a no-paint, no-glue line a notable pivot for the brand.

Shizuoka Hobby Show context underlines why Fujimi chose the venue. Photo-walk and attendee notes published from past shows report practical details visitors know well: “Shinagawa train station. We took the non-stop bullet train to Shizuoka from here. It was about 50 min ride. Train fare is around US$60 one way.” The same account adds, “Arrived at Shizuoka. There was a free shuttle bus going from Shizuoka train station to the convention center,” and describes the event as “HUGE!! and crowded...” A YouTube attendee summed up the show’s draw: “For as long as I've been building models, visiting the Shizuoka Hobby Show has been a dream, and in 2025, that dream came true.”

Fujimi’s recent product history shows the company already markets 1/150 train kits. Japan-figure lists “Fujimi Model 1/150 Snow Miku Train 2024 2-Car Set Plastic Model” and uses promotional copy such as “Experience the joy of assembling this iconic train, featuring vibrant colors and intricate details true to the original design.” Plaza Japan lists “Fujimi 1/150 Snow Miku Train 2022 Version (For Standard Color w/3300 Class) 2 Car Set Plastic Model,” flags the SKU “FJM91035,” and states “This is a plastic model kit, assembly is required,” with a site copyright line of “© 2026 Plaza Japan.”

The Train-NEXT announcement leaves several specifics unreported. The company’s statement highlights the no-paint, no-glue claim but does not include scale, SKU, MSRP, distribution territories, or technical explanation of how the kits avoid paint and adhesive. The teaser image has driven Enoden speculation among modelers, but that remains unconfirmed pending Fujimi’s reveal at its Shizuoka booth.

If Fujimi follows its established approach to prototypical accuracy and kit engineering, Train-NEXT could reframe entry-level assembly for collectors who already buy Fujimi 1/150 sets like Snow Miku. Confirmation of subject, construction method, and availability is expected from Fujimi during the Shizuoka Hobby Show today; until then, enthusiasts point to the teaser and Fujimi’s long catalog as the best clues to what Train-NEXT will become.
