  1. This model represents an aircraft of the 343rd Fighter Group, flown by Leading Airman Ikuji Matsumura. A very nice kit. I added the RB Model Brass 20mm Japanese cannons Type 99 Mk. 2. I bought these for the soul reason that they were on sale dirt cheap. I used Uschi van Rosten rigging thread (0.02mm) for the antenna wires. This is the ultra fine size meant for 1:72 rigging but I think it is more to scale for 1:48 antenna. I painted the innards Tamiya XF-58 Olive Green lightened with XF-4 Yellow Green. Camo was done with Tamiya XF-11: J.N. Green over XF-16: Flat Aluminum. This is the first time that I’ve tried the hair spray chipping method, a work in progress shall we say. This is also my first attempt with Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color: Dark Brown. Again…a work in progress. I used the kit decals save for the fuselage stripe which I painted on
  2. The Hasegawa kit is very nice and I can highly recommend it. I added turned brass pitots, Eduard PE and some scratchbuilding in the cockpit. I also deepened and smoothed out the intakes a bit as they are rather shallow straight out of the box. Paint was Model Master Acrylics, sealed with Future. For decals stencils are from Platz, the 8th Squadron logo is from the kit, and the serial numbers/crew chief were ALPS printed. After decals, it was given another coat of future and the panel lines highlighted with the Tamiya dark brown panel line highlighter. It was my first time trying it, and I think it will be a good addition to the toolbox. Photos were just taken with my mobile phone, so the quality is not amazing, but I think it gets the job done. Here is the orginal. I hadn't looked at my references for quite a while building the kit, so I missed that his one included the antennas on either side of the vertical tail: IMG_6000 by J Hooper, on Flickr A couple of in progress pics of the cockpit before paint: IMG_6281 by J Hooper, on Flickr IMG_6285 by J Hooper, on Flickr And the aircraft as completed today: 20190421_143913 by J Hooper, on Flickr 20190421_143901 by J Hooper, on Flickr 20190421_143925 by J Hooper, on Flickr 20190421_144000 by J Hooper, on Flickr Cheers and thanks for the look!

  3. Started this just after Christmas as a relaxing, no-stress build. I bought 3 different MPM boxing's of Hasegawa's Beaufighter when a seller on E-bay had them at a fairly cheap price, each one has several different marking options, Montex masks and PUR exhausts. The kit instructions cover ALL the decal options and are the same in each box, with colour Markings instructions with the variants in each boxing. This is from the RAAF box and covers Mk I, Mk VI and Mk21 in RAAF service. Each kit includes all parts to do early and late tail-planes, long and short intakes, tailwheels, AI aerials, etc. Also the Sperry Auto-Pilot housing. I chose to do an overall Aluminium finished Mk.21 and on doing a bit of research (unusual for me!) I discovered several Beaufighter's were stripped of their Overall Foliage Green finish. An interesting article here; http://www.adf-serials.com.au/newsletter/ADF Telegraph 2018 Autumn.pdf A8-196 is pictured if you scroll down the page. Of note was the fact that the instructions tell you to fit the long filter intakes and long (PUR) 'Hedgehog' type exhaust's, but the photo shows short intakes and the Mk I type short exhausts. I removed the framing from the later type rear canopy to try to represent the Australian style frameless type (not in the kit), it's not perfect but it'll do me. I left off the rear gun. Modified the starboard wing to the two gun type. Basically filling and re-scribe. Modified the wing tips to show the rearward 'Stem' type navigation light. Vallejo ModelAir Aluminium was used overall with a bit of AK Extreme to a couple of panels to add variation. A light wash into the panels while varnishing, doesn't show up much in the photo's but I'm still learning. The call out for the small Roundel's in the instruction's for the upper and lower wing I think is wrong, but I didn't spot this till this evening while putting this together! I think the photo shows the Larger style. I may change them later, but I might just leave them for another RAAF build (Overall Foliage Green) The kit went together well, hardly any filler used. I think the pilot's canopy looks a bit too tall and the whole fuselage is a bit 'pinched in', especially towards the rear. But, it looks the part I think. Last photo's show comparison with a High Planes kit I did last year. Criticism's and comment's welcome. Davey.
  4. Hi, Here my Hasegawa kit with some aftermarket: Rhino seamless intakes, Eduard etch, wheels and engine nozzles. Additional weapons from Hasegawa weapon set. Wheel wells with additions from scratch. Decals-Furball. Tried to depict war weary aircraft with standard Linebacker weapon load Thanks for looking
  5. Northrop T-38 Thunderbirds team These were to use up some old Hasegawa F-5B kits that had been around for far too long. The main changes to produce T-38s were to the air intakes and leading edge root extensions Just noticed the missing main gear door! Odd how you just don't notice these things until it's too late.
  6. Friends, This is the Hasegawa OA-4M Skyhawk. While I built this kit primarily straight out of the box, I did add the Mk-82 Snake Eyes from the Hasegawa weapons set. I weathered the “Scooter” with pastels, washes and paint. I recommend this kit to all as I found it to be an enjoyable, straightforward, and simple build. Thank you in advance!!!!! Respectfully submitted, Mike
  7. The second completion of the week, and not much bigger than the I-16, and keeping with the Soviet theme, is the Hasegawa 1/72 Yak-3. Note that the antenna wire goes through the cockpit canopy to the radio box underneath. This model and the I-16 were brush painted using AK Interactive acrylics from their WWII Soviet colour set.
  8. Here's the first of two completions in the last couple of days: it's the diminutive 1/72 Hasegawa Polikarpov I-16 Type 24. Finished OOB. Ignore the fact that the cockpit should be painted grey not underside blue. Yes, I did rig the undercarriage retraction wires. Also yes, I forgot to paint the tailwheel tyre 😣 That silver ring around the cowling is a decal and let me tell you that it was incredibly hard to get it acceptably straight.
  9. Friends, After posting two WWII era aircraft, here is something more modern, the F-4G Wild Weasel version of the Phantom. I used the Hasegawa kit and posed in the early stage of Operation Desert Storm circa January, 1991. Early in the conflict, Phantoms toted four AGM-88 Harm missiles. This provided a bit of a difference for Phantoms usually carried 370 gallon external drop tanks on the outboard wing pylons. I added resin ejection seats and the AGM-88`s, AIM-7`s, and ECM pod came from the Hasegawa weapons set. Despite some “fiddly” challenges to this kit, I would recommend it to all. Thank you in advance!!!!!! Respectfully submitted, Mike
  10. #9/2019 Here´s my dad´s last captured 109 for a while. Hasegawa kit with Rising Decals, Eduard seatbelts, plastic rods and lead wire for the brake lines, legs shortened about 2mm. This aircraft had additional cowl scoops like a G-2, so took some from the sparesbox. AK Real Color Air Mid-Stone and Gunze H314 FS35622 for the camo. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235049959-under-new-management148-messerschmitt-bf109f-4-1-sqn-saaf/ This aircraft from 9./JG53 was captured on El Daba airfield in Lybia in October 1942 by 1 Sqn SAAF. It was repainted and used for training until a final crash in 1943 near Cairo.

  11. Hi All, Finally calling this one done. It was not without its issues! Over the years, I have had trouble with Hasegawa kits. I actually binned a 1/24th Ferrari 189, because of several mistakes that I made putting it together. It rather put me off them for a while... If you look at the build log, you'll see that I had problems with the steering (steering rack too short) and front suspension (one wishbone decided to detach itself... twice!) In a moment of clumsiness while trying to put the body on to the floor, I dropped the body on to the floor (A hard laminate floor...). At first, I didn't see anything obviously wrong, until I looked a bit more closely at the rear of he body. A large piece had broken away! Luckily, I found the broken piece, and was able to re-cement the part on without any really visible line on the bodyshell. Also, while assembling the bodyshell onto the floor, one of the front springs dropped out. I thought, "stuff it, no one can see it..." and no one can. So, here are the pictures: I managed to get a good shine on the paintwork using Halford's polishing compound. This stuff is a foam that you spray from a can. I then used a very soft cloth to gently rub the compound in, followed by a gentle rub with a soft cloth. Quite a shine came up. It's not perfect by any stretch, but I am very pleased with the outcome, despite the problems. I will be building more Hasegawa kits in the future... I has joined the car park. Any comments are always welcome. Thanks for looking, Alan.
  12. Due to waiting time with most other projects, my dad decided to continue with the "roundeled" theme and start the next captured 109. Once again a 1 Sqn SAAF bird, this time captured in Lybia 1942. Like with the other two, he uses a Hasegawa kit and Rising Decals.

  13. Hi everyone, This is my 1/72 H8K2 Emily, unfortunately the right tail stabilizer isn't perfectly at 90° with the vertical tail plain I hope that you guys will like this massive seaplane as much as i do
  14. Hello! Here is my Hasegawa 1:72 Kawanishi N1K2-J Shiden-Kai (Early) which I built back in 2008. It represents 343-45, of the 343 Kokutai, 701 Hikotai, Imperial Japanese Navy Air Force, flown by First Lt Takashi Oshibuchi, from Kanoya Naval Air Base, Kyushu, Japan, April 1945. The kit was built mostly OOB. I just added some details in the cockpit. It was completely painted and varnished by brush. I had some problems with the decals partially of my own making, in particular the hinomaru which I ended up having to remove and replace with those from another sheet. Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome Miguel
  15. Completed before the house move, this is off to the backseat as it depicts his farewell flight. The Hasegawa kit performed beautifully with an Aires and Eduard cockpit upgrade. Painted with Vallejo.
  16. The 109 build continues. Firstly the old Revell Bf109G-10. Nice simple kit but goes together quickly and easily. Finished with Xtracrylix RLM 74,75, 76 and with Model Alliance decals from sheet ML489028 1. 2. 3. 4. Next, a Hasegawa Bf109K-4. Very nice kit. Finished in RLM 76, 75 and 82 and with the it decals. 1. 2. 3. 4.
  17. Hi here is my Bf109G-6 flown by Gerhard Barkhorn the kit is a hasegawa , paints are gunze acrylics
  18. Hi! Here my Hs-129B-3 tank buster of the last WWII winter. Built from Hasegawa limited edition kit with Verlinden cockpit, Eduard masks, custom masks for codes, Montex masks for insignia and some scratch build mainly in wheel wells. Tried to make the temporary winter camouflage to look well worn. Hope You like it!
  19. Second one completed of 2019 is the Focke-Wulf Fw190 A5 from Hasegawa, this again (same as the Bf-109 G10) is a great kit, with no issues at all. Painted with Mr Colour paints and thinners (amazing products in my opinion). My choice of aircraft was quite easy as the Stab/Jagd-Erganzungsgruppe aircraft of Ost, Maj Herman Graf was so colourful and different, this was based in France 1943. If anyone can enlighten me on the markings, id be very grateful of the knowledge.
  20. This is a Hasegawa 1/32 Bf-109 G-10 and it proved a very easy build, no major fit issues at all (a nice change). I have painted it using MrColour paints to represent an aircraft from 2./JG300 Feldwebel Ederhard Gzik based in Germany, October 1944. I added some photo etch seat belt from Eduard to set the cockpit off, I hope you like 'Rita', I am quite happy with the results.
  21. Hi guys. I want to show you my first car model for 5 years, so please be kind with me😉. It´s the Hasagawa kit of the 1971 Safari Ralley Fairlady 240Z. Daniel
  22. And another of my dad´s oldies goes into storage. Hasegawa kit built years ago.

  23. Hasegawa pretty much released this little gemstone of a tiddler at the same time that British Airways retired their Trident fleet and took delivery of their first 737-236. The kit carries the same registration as BA's first (G-BGDA) which was delivered by Boeing in December 1981. That makes the kit 38 years old and like most of that age, the decals have had to be re-lacquered. The port side of the fuselage had lost its shape in storage and what looks a simple task, proved very difficult to join and make into a decent continuous profiled tube. Having just completed my 1/200 Hasegawa Negus L1011, I felt it an appropriate time to get this other Negus livery kit put together. That's as far as I have got for the moment. This kit make the Airfix 1/72 BE2 kit look big !
  24. Hi, Here my Hasegawa kit built with help of Rhino seamless intake, Aires wheel wells, Eduard etch and New Ware canopy masks. Additional weapons for SAM suppression is from Hasegawa's weapon set. Thanks for looking!
  25. #7/2019 Here´s my dad´s next "roundeled" 109. Hasegawa kit with Rising Decals, Eduard seatbelts, EZ Line for the antenna wires. Once again shortened the Hasegawa main legs for about 2mm. Gunze and Tamiya acrylics used, AML masks for the Erla zig-zag pattern. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235048259-crossdresser148-messerschmitt-bf109g-4-1-sqn-saaf/ The aircraft was originally assigned to 2.(H)/14, Aufklärungsgruppe 14. Looking at pics of the aircraft we couldn´t tell if it was fitted with a camera or not, my dad built it without one. The plane was captured in July 1943 on Sicily by 1 Sqn SAAF, tested and later most probably scrapped.
