Hasegawa seem to have re-released their F-20 Tigershark. There's also a combo version of two kits due soon, although strangely, Hannants have it listed as being more expensive than buying two of the single kit version.
:huh:

Their Tigershark is a super little kit, goes together like a dream.

As for the price increase being more than double, its a "special", which is Japanese for "charge far more than its worth because people will still pay for it".  Ask me how I know this :banghead:

I'm betting, at Telford or any sizeable model show, if you looked hard, you could find any number of F-20's for around a fiver from any number of traders or under-the-table boxes. And yes it is a sweet little model.

I found that at Huddersfield at least, it wasn't that easy to find.  I was browsing Mr Models, when a guy mentioned he was looking for a F-20.  I'd seen one, but couldn't remember where.  I kept an eye out the rest of the day, & eventually spotted it & let the fella know, (turns out it was on Mr Models, about two foot from where we'd been standing :rolleyes:).  But they don't seem that prevallent.

You'd lose your bet at Telford - no under the table sales thanks to the Elf n Safety Gestapo.

Several surprise new announcements by Hasegawa ahead of the Tokyo show

New tool 1/48 Raptor!
http://www.hlj.com/product/HSGPT45

F-16F Block 60
http://www.hlj.com/product/HSGPT44

And one for the shippies, a 1/350 Yahagi
http://www.hlj.com/product/HSGZ26

The Raptor is a bit of surprise.  Given that the excellent Academy kit only came out this year, that there's only one user and one (boring) scheme, one wonders how many they expect to sell.  Revell I could've understood, given how over-inflated the prices are getting for eastern manufacturers are right now.  Who knows, maybe Revell will rebox it anyway.

The things is, the Academy Raptor isn't earning Hasegawa a single yen! ;) They'd be mad not to go for one if they think they can sell enough. And with the protectionist taxes, maybe the Hasegawa kit will be a good deal cheaper than the Academy kit for the Japanese?  :huh:

Very interesting! Hope Hasegawa will do the same as Academy and come out with an injection-moulded spined/CFT'd/bumped 1/72 Viper.
Cheers,

The Raptor kit is also coming out as one of the Idolmaster series kits with an anime characters graphics all over it. Last post on this thread I think. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=36766

This one caught my eye on the Hase list. Renzan with I-Go guided bomb and Shinden Kai Homeland Defense. http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG00987

A complete whif package for (currently) £28.60 plus P+P. Hopefully the economy might pick up a bit before December and lower the price!

Saw this on Modeling Madness today. Dragon Models USA has posted the Hasegawa relealses from Nov 09 to February 2010. http://www.dragonmodelsusa.com/dmlusa/special/20090923_HAS09P/
Like the 1/48th sea camo Mitsubishi F-1 and the Luftwaffe Renzan with Igo Bomb & Jet Shinden escort fighter.

I love the fact that Hasegawa embrace the What If world..... The Renzan and Shinden just look so, 'comfortable' in Luft 46 clothes ! - Noticed that they're issuing the P-40M too, hopefully somebody will do 'Wairapa Wildcat' decals for it soon.

 heh. I was just about to post news of the Renzan re-issue, but Paul's beaten me to it. I wonder if the the
Rita will get any 'upgrade' parts besides the flying bomb or no...it is a great kit, but certainly shows its age...

modellversium has provided an in-box review of the Hasegawa Aircraft Weapons set # VII (1/72nd scale kit # X72-12) for anyone interested in more modern aircraft weapons.


The set contains the following items:
3 x AN/AAQ-13 Navigation Pod + 2 Racks für F-15E
3 x AN/AAQ-14 Targeting Pod + je 2 Racks für F-14, F-15 E und F-16 C
3 x AGM-154 A JSOW
3 x GBU-31 JDAM
3 x AN/ALQ-184 ECM Pod
3 x LAU-138 Launcher for the F-14 Bombcat

Definitely not as much variety this time in comparison to the earlier weapons set kits and the excess of LANTIRN targeting pods means fewer weapons in the kit.  Definitely not a great value for your modeling dollar when compared to the earlier sets.

Due to incredibly high prices and disputes with the importer, all 11 model shops in the Edmonton, Alberta area have stopped stocking Hasegawa.  Is this the sign of things to come?
