At one of the Kojima anniversary parties they had a large display of MGS artifacts in cases. In one case were the two original MSX games along with an amazing model of the Metal Gear D-
I'd always wondered what the story was with it but I recently came across this site-

And in the bottom right hand corner they talk about two old advertisements in a couple old MSX magazines that used the model!
Bad google translation-
■ the first three-dimensional model
as described above, D breaks became the first three-dimensional in Metal Gear history. Its three-dimensional model, has also appeared in magazine ads before and after sale.
Canon 75mm ver. Between ver. Equipped with missile pods, two types of configuration options are being properly reproduced already at the stage model is excellent. In particular, the minutes were found only in advertising at the time, Cannon ver. Has become now may be a high degree of rare paintings.
※ Both Mon 7 MSX magazine (published by ASCII Corporation), 1990 (top) and the August issue of the image (bottom).
Does anybody here happen to have these issues? I'd love to get scans!
