Hasegawa 1/48 F4U-7 Corsair
The United States had the chance in 1945 to avoid 55 years of history, the deaths of over 58,000 Americans, several million Vietnamese and other Southeast Asians, and the self-confidence of America as a country. All that had to be done was [...]
Lockheed F 104 C
Hasegawa's 1/48 scale rendition of Kelly Johnson's manned missile. This has to be the most colourful F 104 C ever. It depicts the first F 104 C that was delivered to Tactical Air Command at George AFB. I might be wrong, but I think it was [...]
Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat
This 1/48 scale Hellcat carries the distinctive markings from VF-27. Definitely the most ferocious looking Hellcat squadron in the US Navy! This Hellcat probably went down with the USS Princeton when she was mortally wounded by a bomb [...]
SAAB J 35 F Draken
The superb Hasegawa 1/48 scale rendition of the Swedish J 35 F Draken. My model depicts a Draken from the Swedish Flygvapen based at Angelholm. Photos on the web show the Angelholm Drakens to be badly weathered towards the end of their [...]
1/48 Hasegawa Spitfire Mk VIII
This is the 1/48 Hasegawa Mk VIII Spitfire flown by Squadron Leader Lance Wade. Wade was from Texas and enlisted in the RAF in Canada. Being from Texas myself I like building planes flown by Texas pilots. I apologize to you Spitfire [...]
Bf 109 G6 9/JG52, Erich Hartmann, Russia 1943
This is Hasagawa's 1/32 G6, detailed-up with the Master Detail set. I confess this isn't a new build; it was done a year or so back. I was going through some previous files on Photobucket and saw a couple of photos of it, and decided to [...]
Hasegawa F-86A Sabre
This is the 1/48 Hasegawa F-86 Sabre, using the Cutting Edge resin conversion set and Meteor Productions decals to create an F-86A Sabre.
The first prototype, 45-59597, had been completed in August 1947, powered by a Chevrolet-build [...]
Hasegawa F-8H Crusader
Here is the Hasegawa F-8 done as an F-8H using the full Cutting Edge conversion set and Meteor Productions decals.
There's an old saying that "it's better to be lucky than good." The Chance Vought F-8 Crusader series was not [...]
“Le Crouze” – the last Crusader
Here is the Hasegawa F-8E Crusader modified to be an F-8E(FN)/F-8P, using the Cutting Edge slats and flaps, dive brake, and cockpit, with decals from MDC.
By 1962, the Marine Nationale was undergoing rapid modernization, with two new [...]
A.K.A. “Val”
Here is my just completed Aichi D3A1 Type 99 dive bomber, AKA “Val”. It is a Hasegawa 1/48 scale kit, no ‘aftermarket’ stuff unless you count the seat belts which are aftermarket masking tape, or some of the markings, which I [...]
