Hasegawa 1/32 P-40E Warhawk
Hasegawa's big Warhawk kit has a similar mold style like other recent Hasegawa 1/32 scale aircraft. The models capture well the outlines of the aircraft. Surface textures are finely recessed, but the details are sparse and are sketchy for [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 Ju 87R-2 Stuka
My interpretation of the "Desert Snake" Stuka flown by Leu Lt. Hubert Polz from Tmimi, Libya in 1941. The black and white photos confirm that the red color stands out from the camouflaged background.
Hasegawa 1/49 Arado 234B-2/N `Nachtigall´
A complex model by Hasegawa depicting Arado's night fighter developed during the final months of the War.
The ‘rocket with a pilot’, well, ‘with two pilots’, in this case! TF-104G Starfighter, Aeronautica Militare
This model was created as a farewell gift for a long-time acquaintance: he is the owner of the penultimate pure modelling shop in my home town. He will be retiring in the foreseeable future and his modelling shop will be closing its doors [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 TF-104G Italian Starfighter
Hasegawa's excellent Starfighter adorned with Aires cockpit and Martin Baker ejection seats.

With its spaced two cockpits, Hasegawa's Zero [...]
Hasegawa Grumman TBM-1C Avenger
This is the Grumman TBM-1C Avenger flown by a LTJG Rothwell from USS Petrof Bay (CVE 80). The kit is from Hasegawa, decals are from Techmod sheet 72128. No surprises from either the kit or the decals, a very enjoyable build!
Construction [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 F-4G Phantom II "Wild Weasel"
As Captain Terry Martin of the 562nd Tactical Fighter Squadron of the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing told me when I visited the wing at George AFB in May 1982 on assignment from Air Force Magazine to do an article on the Wild Weasels, [...]
Kit Basing Hasegawa and Trumpeter: 1/32 Messerschmitt Me 262B-1a/u1
Revell produced a good 1/32 kit of the 262B. Yet, the definitive 262 kit in the scale requires the combination of Trumpeter's wings from their excellent 262A kit. The wings are matched with Hasegawa's old 262B kit that has the correctly [...]
