Alphonse and Noa, the Patlabor duo as a display kit
This is Max Factory's PLAMAX take on the heart of Mobile Police Patlabor: the AV-98 Ingram, Noa Izumi's beloved "Alphonse", built as a detailed upper-body bust, with a small 1/20 figure of Noa herself standing alongside it on a gangway platform. It is a plastic model kit you assemble, not a finished figure, and it captures the bond between pilot and machine in a single display piece.
Build difficulty
Despite the size and detail, it is a snap-fit kit moulded across several colour runners, so no cement is needed and painting is optional. The Ingram builds up in its original police colours straight from the box, with water-slide decals and a gold-plated emblem for the finishing detail. Noa is a single-colour figure with eye decals that many builders like to paint, though it is not required. Recommended age 15 and up. A basic tool kit (nippers, a hobby knife) and a steady hand for the decals are all it asks.
Technical highlights
The centrepiece is the Ingram bust, roughly 21 cm tall, with the head, camera eye and patrol lamps reproduced in clear parts and the police livery captured through moulded colour and water-slide markings. A gold metal-plated police emblem lifts the finish. The 1/20 Noa figure stands about 8 cm and shares the base, so the two read as a scene rather than two separate models. This is a static display piece, built for the shelf rather than posing.

What to watch for
We haven't found a body of independent builder reviews for this kit, so we can't pass on verified fit-and-finish feedback. Two honest notes: it is a static display piece, so there is no articulation to pose, and the finish rewards a little patience with the water-slide decals. Painting is optional, but a light wash or panel line brings out the Ingram's detail nicely.
Builder tip: seat the water-slide decals on a touch of setting solution and they'll sit down cleanly over the panel detail.
Build notes
No cement required, this is a snap-fit kit, and painting is optional. Water-slide decals and a gold-plated emblem handle the fine detail. A basic tool kit (nippers, hobby knife) is recommended. Recommended age 15 and up.
