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.

1/48 Hasegawa SH-3H Sea King
This is a revamped model that I received from a friend and includes FlightPath photoetch parts for the interior. Yet, over time the rotor blades drooped and I left the fragile rotor untouched.
Hasegawa 1:48 Bf 109 K-4
I'm not a huge 109 aficionado, but I wanted to do something with RLM 81 Brown-Violet, and I wanted something on which to try out my recently acquired Paasche Raptor airbrush. I settled on the venerable Hasegawa kit, one of two or three in [...]
Night attacker Stuka
Towards the end of WWII Ju 87 aircraft were converted to night operations. The Ju 87D-8 were equipped with exhaust flame suppressors. Most of the night operating Stukas served under1./NSGr.9 in northern Italy and retreated to Austria until [...]
