1/48 Hasegawa HS-129B-1
Here is my Hasegawa 1/48 HS-129B-1. This is built OOB with the exception of PE seatbelts. Painted with Gunze acrylics and weathered with pastels, oils, and silver pencil. A very nice kit to build with no problems encountered.

Hello Geoff, a very nice looking build of a strange looking bird, I always think these look almost insect like , like a Wasp or a Hornet.
Cheers N.

I’ve personally never been able to figure the interest in this airplane, but you certainly have my interest up over your very nice model!
Geoffrey Abreu said on March 5, 2014
Tom, I wanted to build this one as it is not one of the ones armed with the big cannon, so a bit different than the ones I always see built.

Hey Geoffrey well done, really can’t add much more than what has already been said. However it is nice to see one built. I have this kit as well. Like yours the B-1 version not the cannon B-3, which I have in 72nd scale. Some mentioned it may not be the cleanest aircraft in the air, but then again the A-10 isn’t exactly graceful looking either yet very effective. Really nice to see an Hs-129, thanks for sharing.

This is the first HS-129B-1 that I’ve seen that has been done up right with the use of pastels and it would fall under the category of being a Goldie Locks kit…just right. ” I like it”.
