One of the more peculiar crossovers of recent years tied up Namco Bandai's Ace Combat series with its Idol Master series. Players of Xbox 360's Ace Combat 6 had access to premium downloadable fighter jets painted in Idol Master themes.

Model maker Hasegawa will be converting the Idol Master Ace Combat jets into model form for release in november and December. Four jets will be available, priced between ¥3,990 and ¥7,140.

And here's what you'll be starting off with:

The part counts range between 178 for the ¥3,990 Ami F-2A to 320 for the ¥6,090 Chihaya F-15E. The jets are 1/48 scale, measuring between 328mm and 406mm in body length.
