Hasegawa 1/48 Hurricane Mk. IIb
Hasegawa's 1/48th scale model captures well the lines of the Hurricane. Yet, sparse cockpit details, somewhat problematic fit of wings to fuselage and a "floating" canopy in the open position prevent it from being a favorite [...]
1/450 Hasagawa HMS Vanguard
Seeing Marcello Rosa's excellent HMS Vanguard the other day prompted me to post these pics of my one.
I finished this about 6 years ago I think, before the advent of all the superb 3d printed parts now available.
I reworked the main [...]
The last battleship: HMS Vanguard (Hasegawa 1/450)
I have not contributed anything to modelling sites for the last 6 months, and here is the reason. Perhaps unwisely, I decided to build a model of HMS Vanguard, the Royal Navy's last battleship. And, before someone says it, I know that [...]
Lockheed P-3C Orion, 10SQN RAAF 1985
Next off my P-3 production line is is the 1/72 Hasegawa kit built OOB and finished with kit and Canuck Decals for a machine from 10SQN RAAF. HF wire antennas were made from eziline.
Hasegawa 1/32, Douglas Skyhawk A-4F, "Lady Jessie"
Kit is quite old, and not so fun to build, but I managed to complete it. Raised panel lines are surely not my favorites...
Intake should be naturally white inside, but I noticed it too late in order to fix it. Not the only mistake I'd [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 A-4N IDF
With all its fit issues, Hasegawa's Scooter is a very nice kit that depicts well the aircraft. Hasegawa had a dedicated IDF late Skyhawk version in a limited edition boxing. These kits quickly disappeared from the market leaving the [...]
1/48 Hasegawa Ki-84 "Hayate"
This kit in my opinion is one of Hasgawa's best. I used an SBS cockpit set and it has better detailing than the kit cockpit but by no means is it necessary. I did this because I already had the SBS one. The kit supplied cockpit parts are [...]
Invasion stripes: Clostermann's Spitfire
When Hasegawa's 1/48th scale Spitfire Mk. IXc appeared, it was a big disappointment due to the short fuselage that seemed to doom the kit. Yet overall, the kit had a finely engraved panel lines and was easy to build.
Hasegawa's flaw was [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 J35F/J Draken
Hasegawa's Draken is a very nice kit without building complications that looks like the real aircraft.
Hasegawa 1/72 E7K1 with added catapult
Background
The Kawanishi E7K grew out of an Imperial Japanese Navy requirement for a replacement for the Kawanishi E5K observation seaplane. The Kawanishi Type 94 was the result (the designation E7K1 was a later application). Kawanishi [...]
