What is the difference between SF3D and Maschinen Krieger ZbV3000?
A – The name only really. In 1985 Hobby Japan canceled the SF3D stories. They claimed ownership of the series and it was tied up in the Japanese courts for years. The matter was settled in Kow’s favor; they were his designs but the SF3D name “belonged” to Hobby Japan. The series was re-booted in 1998 as Maschinen Krieger ZbV3000.
