Hasegawa 1/48 Kyushu J7W1 SHINDEN
Hasegawa's Shinden is an old kit released more than 40 years ago, but it was very easy to assemble.
All convex panel lines throughout the kit are re-carved into concave lines, and riveted expressions are added throughout.
I have tried to [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 F-104G Belgian Starfighter
A very nice model by Hasegawa. Cockpit and ejection seats by Aires. The Belgian Air Force Starfighters had Lockheed C2 ejection seats with a cradle-like harness, which is well depicted by Aires.

Scratch Your Model: Hasegawa 1/32 Ki-84 Hayate
Hasegawa's big Hayate is a good candidate for model detailing. It is an excellent kit with finely recessed and raised surface details. The fit of parts is very good, and the parts count is relatively low. It is only the engine cowling [...]
F-8X Super Crusader,
Here's another Whatiffer. Eliminating the bridle catapult set up by adopting the nose gear hook up from the A-7, including the main landing gear also installing a 20mm vulcan, instead of those prone to jam singles, an engine change [...]

A hornet without its stingers: F/A-18B in action at the National Air and Space Agency NASA
A fully equipped F/A-18 Hornet in civilian hands? Is there such a thing? Surprisingly, you don't have to look far to answer yes: the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been operating a small fleet of F/A-18 Hornets [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 F-86F 30 Sabre
Hasegawa's old mold still produces an attractive looking Sabre without build complications.
Hasegawa 1/48 Arado 234B-2/N
This kit was also released by Revell and ProModeler. Its origins relate to Trimaster/Dragon models. Like other kits in the series, this model is highly detailed but has many fit problems that complicate the build.
The aircraft represented [...]
