The Bandai Best Hit Chronicle 1/1 Cup Noodle is a full-scale plastic model kit produced by Bandai Spirits in collaboration with Nissin, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the iconic Cup Noodles. What sets this kit apart is its use of 3D scanning technology applied to actual Cup Noodle ingredients - noodles, egg, shrimp, and mystery meat - to create remarkably detailed plastic parts. This is a unique novelty build suitable for beginners to intermediate modelers, requiring snap-fit assembly with no glue or painting needed for a complete look. Originally released in 2020, the kit has become a beloved display piece for hobby enthusiasts and instant noodle fans alike.
