Evening all. As the title says I will be building a Hasegawa A-5. The decals are from Skymodels FW 190 set. I wasn't sure what to build but my choices were narrowed by which kits I could find. I have some more somewhere in my disaster of a loft but couldn't find them. Anyways I have decided to go with an A-5 Yellow 2 flown by Josef Wurmheller. As this kit is quite simple I hope to make some progress tonight and will hopefully post some pics later. Cheers Allan -
Sadly not a full WIP build just wanted to share this quick build in it's current state. Been wanting to do an F-16 ever since I got back into the hobby over the last year and snapped this up on Amazon for £6 recently, never built a Hasegawa kit before so didn't quite know what to expect. It's not a bad kit but does have it's flaws, few fit issues to contend with..especially with the main landing gear! The supplied decals were just awful though! Pretty much unusable so I decided to order Daco's Belgium Air Force 349 Squadron from Hannants just to have something different, two pics below.. ...I'm still very much a novice at all this right now so quite new to after market decals, and certainly had issues with the tail fin! But I'm quite happy with it so far. First time spraying from a can using the blu-tac worm technique too (practicing for the 1/48 Tornado going on at the moment!) which I've just about got the hang of I think. Will post more pics soon, thanks for looking!

Good afternoon from a cold and damp Middle Earth. Well here t'is after eight months on-and-off the bench, my Hasegawa 1:48 Crusader. Now before I go-on, as I was editing the pics for size, I noticed that I've forgotten to add the IR Sensor on the front windscreen but I know where it is and I'll sort-it next time I'm in the 'cave' !! What can I tell you ?, well construction was no problem throughout although on this kit, some of the detail particularly around the dive-brake area was almost none-existant which I'm guessing points to over-use of the moulds. A few extras but not too many, the build is here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234993482-f-8j-crusader/ if anybody wants to check-it-out. Some folks here may know or have heard of Frank Cronin from California, just want to publicly thank Frank for sending me the decals for this build without hesitation when I put out a cry-for-help over at iModeller... Cheers Frank, really appreciate it. That's all the yada, yada, yada for now, here's some photos: Kit - Hasegawa 1:48 Paint - All Tamiya, Humbrol & Xtracolour enamels. Decals - Aeromaster, Microscale stencils, Furball 'Canopy seals' Extras - Cobra Co. resin seat, Quickboost aft intakes, AIM-9D's from Hasegawa Weapons Set 'C'. LTV F-8J Crusader Assigned to Cdr. Paul Stephenson CAG CVW-21 VF-211 'Checkmates' USS Hancock 1972 Thanks for taking the time to look and/or comment, as ever happy to take any criticisms, comments or questions. AFN. Ian.

Curtiss P-40 wheel set Eduard 1:32 The Hasegawa P-40 kit has been around for quite a while, even in its last incarnation from 2013. Recently Eduard have released a number of etched sets for it, now it’s their Brassin range to have a go. This lovely looking resin set comes encased in their usual clear styrene bubble packaging, and contains the two main wheels, which come with separate inner hubs, and a single piece tailwheel. The resin moulding is well up to the standard we have come to expect from Brassin and includes the makers name and size information on the main tyre side walls, along with the very nicely moulded diamond tread pattern. All the tyres have a slight bulge to give the impression there is weight on them, but not excessively. All the wheels are only attached to the moulding plugs via a small contact point on the bulged area and a couple of webs, so shouldn’t be too hard to remove and clean up. The hubs are a little more awkward, but with care and a sharp blade or saw you should be ok. The hubs will need to have the rear sanded down to thickness so that they fit into the wheel recess correctly. The set also includes a small etched brass sheet. This contains the outer hub covers, one for each main wheel. To complete the set, and make it a lot easier to spray the completed wheels a set of mask, made of kabuki style tape has also been included. Conclusion These resin wheels, with their etched detail parts make a great addition to the completed model. There is a little bit of work to get them off the moulding blocks, but there’s nothing that a moderately competent modeller can’t handle. Highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of -
Hello and thanks for your interest, this is my 1/72 Hasegawa B-24J, representing "The Shack" of 458th Bomb Group, 754th Squadron. The model was built using aftermarket parts from Eduard, CMK, Aires, True Details, Scale Aircraft Conversions and Decals from Sky Models Italy. This beast fought me for over 18 months. Most work went into the paint job. It was painted with Alclad lacquers, which require a perfectly smooth surface preparation. Due to the massive weight (90g) I chose to use metal landing gear from Scale Aircraft Conversions. Photographs by Wolfgang Rabel of IGM Cars & Bikes. ... and here is how it all started.... lots of aftermarket items, lots of motivation and optimism! Cockpit interior: Interior detailling underway: Fuselage halves before closing up: Cockpit again: A lot of weight went into the foward area of the fuselage to prevent a tail-sitter: Model primed Gloss Black (Tamiya14) in preparation for Alclad paints: Paint issues all along the way, of course all my own fault: Making the mask for the code letter "E": Final bits and pieces.... Glad I finished this, even if it took some time and a lot of Patience. But have a look here - there's already a "roll-out" queue on my workbench: Thanks for lookin'. See you next time! Best wishes from Vienna Roman- 39 replies

Hello all. It's great seeing the variety of subjects being covered, both in terms of time and geographical coverage. For my entry I'm going with this kit; Hasegawa's 1/200 B738 Yes I know, another 737, not the most original of builds. However, you may have noticed that there were very few decals on display in that picture, and that is because I'm not going for the box scheme. Instead I'm using Draw Decal's offering to build a plane in the colours of everyone's favourite South African low-cost carrier. It's educational too! Not sure when I'll be able to start, but hopefully sometime in the coming week.

Hello from a very humid Middle Earth/New Zealand. So after a bunch of car models that have crossed the workbench recently, thought I’d clear everything off and get stuck in to this. Having looked over the instructions, it looks like a very straightforward build, I’m prepared for the canopy ‘issues’ later on, and luckily I have an original boxing of the old Monogram Crusader that I’ll probably never build, so I’ll be using the canopy from that if I cannot get the Hasegawa one to fit neatly. I’ll be cutting plastic over the weekend and should have the first progress pics up here on Monday, in the meantime here’s a quick ic of the refs I’ve gathered over the years… …you can see an original Squadron/Signal ‘F-8 in Action’ on the right. Bought away back in 1975 from WH Smith’s in Liverpool… I was twelve. Thassit for now, please feel free to make any comments or ask any questions during the build. AFN Ian.

As well as the Spitfire 22/24, I have this offering from Hasegawa on the go; you would thing it would be the better kit, but although detail levels are higher, fit is dodgy in places meaning a lot more filling, sanding and rescribing. I blame the modular breakdown of the parts, clearly designed to allow multiple versions using the same moulds. I wish everyone could follow the recent Eduard approach and provide whole new fuselages and wings for other versions. The gun inserts, tropical filter, and underside joins are all poor. The cockpit is really rather good from the box, as much as you need considering only a closed canopy is provided. Only seat belts are lacking. Fit of the main parts is not so great; here you can see that some work has had to be done around the main wing root, and the wing gun inserts. At this point I had not discovered 3M Red putty, so Perfect Plastic Putty has been used, goes on great but getting a nice smooth finish and blend takes work and more applications. I am not going to post a pic of the underside join, that way no one will ever know how messy it is except me. This one is nearly ready for priming, had the fit been better getting here would have been pretty quick, as it happens it has been a bit of a drag.

Been tinkering on these for a little while now. The TAP-3B is a resurrected shelf of doom RP-3D I was not happy with. So off came the gear, out came the nose weight and onto a pole it went. I will be using some Aussie Decals for this one. Still at the early paint stage, need to break up the all over grey with some faded panels and weathering. The P-3B is a new build with Hamilton Hobbies (local Aussie producer) P-3B conversion and weapons bay sets. I will be using the DEKLs P-3B decals on this one. Also more painting to go, this one will be a lot cleaner than the TAP-3B

Ok so I've finally managed to get this finished, well almost anyway lol. Whilst taking the pics I realised I'd forgotten the add the licence plate decals and the headlight beam ones too Oh well they're easy to add later lol.

Nakajima Ki-27 Otsu 'Nate' - Hasegawa 1/72
sroubos posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Hasegawa's (actually Mania's) Ki-27 must be almost as old as the original plane by now. It's still a nice kit though, like most Mania re-issues (I'm a fan of their Kate). My boxing is from the early 80s and was missing the decals, but this was not a problem on this build. This is a companion build to my earlier Dutch East Indies MLD PBY-5 Catalina, report here. Catalina Y-63 was commanded by my great-uncle Willem Ditmar, and I found out that a number of Ki-27s were likely responsible for shooting it down. A perfect excuse to build one! I received a lot of useful information from Nick Millman and Ronnie Olsthoorn, who were kind enough to share some profiles from Nick's recent book 'Ki-27 Nate Aces' with me. The most likely candidate was the camouflaged Nate flown by Lt. Yutaka Aoyagi of the 12th Air Brigade, 11th Sentai, so this is the one I settled on. As stated, the kit is still quite nice, but showing its age. Panel lines on the fuselage are recessed, but raised on the wing. There was quite a bit of flash on the smaller parts, even though this is an older boxing. A number of optional parts are included for the gear, but I've never seen a Hasegawa boxing using these. An optional rear canopy is also included. There are really not that many parts to it though, about 25 in all. Cockpit is very bare, I added some tape seat belts. I didn't have any decals in this kit but since I got the recent combi-release of this kit by Hasegawa cheaply a few weeks back, I was hoping to use some of the decals from that. Alas, all the markings on Aoyagi's aircraft were unique so I masked everything, including the hinomarus. Ronnie's profile was resized and used as a guide to cut out the masks. I started by spraying the whole plane with white Tamiya primer to do both the white areas and allow good coverage of the red and yellow. This was followed by masking off the white, then spraying the red, masking, yellow, masking, IJA grey and IJA green. I'm pleased with the results, for such simple markings spraying isn't all that much more work than using decals. I did use the stencils from Hasegawa's new decal sheet. After decalling I used some MiG dark wash to highlight the control surfaces, followed by the bits and bobs and some EZ wire for the antenna. I then applied some matt varnish to finish it all. Disaster struck when removing the masking from the canopy, some of the white primer had run under the tape I'm not too happy about it so I may repaint the canopy when I get back to the kit some time in the future (this is a joke). All in all a nice, easy build. My thanks to Nick and Ronnie for their help on getting the color scheme right and providing some interesting background information. I'm looking forward to reuniting the Nate and the Catalina after 72 years. I need to ferry Nate across the English Channel to my parents' place though, but I will post some pics of this reunion! -
This set is to correct air bleed channels shape and jet intake ramps width for the 1/48 Hasegawa F-14 Tomcat. Molded from polyurethane resin. Dry fit is required before installation.

Hi Guys, I will be building a 1/48 Hasegawa Saab Draken. The box is the special version of the Austrian version. I will build it in the colours of a Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) F-35 Draken. This is the Ground attack version.I have some extra parts to go with it. Here are the goodies that will be used: Aires set 4374 J35F/J cockpit set Aires set 4390 Draken reconnacance conversion Eduard set FE417 J35 zoom set Finemolds set AC-90 Pitot tubes & AOA probes in metal Maestro set K4804 Jettisonable tanks x 2 Maestro set K4806 Jettisonable tanks x 2 Maestro set K4827 Danish Pylons x 6 (not arrived jet) Maestro set MMK4834 Saab WDNS Draken nose Maestro set MMD4803 decals for some Danish Drakens Quickboost QB48188 Air scoops Let the pictures talk. The box. And the spues. And now the extra goodies. And the decals used. As it is not recommended to do a party model, I will use some of the decals of this sheet to make a ground attack version. And the last two pictures are for the Hasegawa armament set's that I am going to use for the bombs and Bullpulp rockets. I have also ordered a set of danish pylons. That I will pick up next week at a friend. Cheers, p.s. just found out that the after market tanks are the wrong ones. I have ordered a new set. -
Already have one build on this GB, this will be my second to be started very soon. I have had this Hasegawa 1/48 Phantom FGR.2 kit #P16 in the stash for a few years now, I purchased it in good faith as a bulk buy of eleven kits a while back however unbeknown to me many parts were missing so I used the cockpit section in an old ESCI kit (which worked out very well) and I was going to break this up for parts. However, recently one of these sold on eBay for over £60 so I reconsidered my options. I have never built an RAF Phantom FGR.2 in this scale and I would rather like to build a RAF Germany 92 Squadron machine in the old grey/green camouflage scheme which was extent until at least 1985. Here is the kit: The parts that are missing are the complete cockpit and seats, stabilators, 1 x main undercarriage leg, all undercarriage doors, and air brakes. However I do have many parts from a broken up Revell F-4C/D, an ancient Italeri F-4G as well as the duplicate parts supplied in the new Academy F-4B and F-4C kits so I am confident I can use these to build something reasonable. After some hesitation I decided to replace the complete missing cockpit with the True Details F-4J Phantom II cockpit detail set. No, it isn't an FGR.2 however at £9.99 from the Big H it is close enough for me. I have never made a replacement cockpit before so could be fun to try. Additionally I did purchase the MIG UK Aircraft Colours Set 'From 50's to Present' a while back and I would like to give these a try. And also some excellent reference material... Michael

#18/2016 And here´s the next fresh one out of my dad´s fighter factory. JG5 dual build finished Hasegawa kit with Kommandeur decals, the JG5 batch is from Kagero because it came closest to the original, the little 4s on the gear covers are from the sparesbox. Painted as usual with Gunze and Tamiya acrylics, the blue on the nose is a selfmix to match the blue 4 decal. The model shows an a/c of 12./JG5, Herdla/Norway in 1945. -
Hey guys, so i finaly started on the Liberator. It ll be one of versions with nose turret. I did not decided yet what camouflage i ll be doing. I have few favourites: - The dragon and his tail - my favourite one, though the NMF surface needs superb clean work on the build (which i need to learn yet:) ) - one of the Coastal commands Liberators GR.Mk.VI (311 czechoslovak squadron) for this one i would need to find some more info about Coastal command liberators VI - mainly about which turrets these were using (US turrets or boulton paul? the waist gunners using single 0,5cal MG or double 0,33 MG?), if the GR.VI were using the rocket racks on fuselage sides under cockpit like the gr.V? or the rocket launchers in bomb bay? or none at all? and such - or some desert pink US B-24J So far i did some rivets work on the fuselage (need to do wings yet, it takes a lot of time ) and started on the interior work. Added some details on the cockpit floor and built all new pilots + co-pilots seats. Just base painted so far, i ll add some weathering and wash once i finish whole interior. -
Ok, got home from work & sorted through my stash. Hasegawa Phantom FGR.2 1/48. Using decals from the AirDoc set to make 19 Squadron's XV470 as depicted on the box art from Fujimi's 1/72 Phantom FGR.2 Quite why this is the 'Last British Phantom' I am not sure, maybe they are being Uber Pedantic and refer to the FG.1 as the 'First British Phantom'... ... but there you go, that's the Japanese for you. Eduard cockpit & masks, Quickboost seats and some Aeries wheels. I'm looking forward to this, love building these Hasegawa Phantoms. Airfix's offering next year had better be pretty good to beat it! Oh, sorry RMP2 but it will be low-viz... From what I can see most of the Phantom's colours are low-viz for most of the 80's. I'm saving up my grey/green decals for the 70's group build...- 65 replies

I built a 92 Sqn Lightning in that STGB, and am building 92 Sqn Phantom in that STGB, so I thought I'd continue the theme with this one. However, there was a slight hiccup in that 92 Sqn didn't convert to the Tornado from the Phantom. So, this is going to be a bit of a whif: a special scheme for the inaugural Tornado F3 to enter service with 92 Sqn in the year of the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. I'll be using the 1/72 Hasegawa kit, which apparently fits nicely but has lots of shape issues. I started by reshaping the vertical tail, which is too square on top. It's not much, but it's a start. Thank you Mish for starting this Group Build in Merv's honour. I never got to meet him, but the loss of any Britmodeller is a loss to us all.- 38 replies

Dear Colleagues The Hasegawa F-15C is pleasant though slightly dated kit. It is well engineered and fits pretty well. My only angst was getting the decals to set on the missiles from the Hasegawa missile set, ooof! The missile load out I got from very magazines and internet searches. Sorry it is not very British, but it set against a backdrop of photos of my local RAF base! Yep, those are resin exhausts! Andrew- 21 replies

I recently got a Hasegawa Arado 234C "anti-ship attacker" (the 4 engined Arado) and I plan to start building it soon, but I do note the cockpit glazing looks different to the regular 2 engined version, and my question is does the Aires resin cockpit work with the 234C version (as it is designed for the 234B)? It looks like a nice upgrade, but obviously if it is the wrong shape for the 234C I don't want to spend the money on it, only to hack it to pieces to make it fit! -
Organised by former Russian General Andrey Vlasov and mostly consisting of Russian POW and anti Communist refugees, it was formed in late 1944 after much lobbying by Vlasov. Around 100,000 men served in the Army, officially called the Armed Forces of the Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia, however, it would see only minimal action towards the closing stages of WW2. I can find little information on Jasta 5, but around 12 aircraft were stationed at Nemecky Brod airfield from 7th March and were discovered there after the war. What was left of White 15 was photographed among the rubble of a bombed out hangar, but it does show the POA insignia on the tail. After the war, Vlasov tried to surrender his army to the Western allies, but due to Churchill's agreement with Stalin, any captured Russian soldiers fighting for the Germans were forceably sent back to Russia. Vlasov and several other Generals were hanged in Moscow on 1st August 1946, with most others left to die in work camps. Despite that, sympathetic allied commanders did allow some captured POA men to escape to the West. I'll be using the very nice Hasegawa kit, with maybe some seatbelts and the aftermarket decals pictured (just for the tail insignia). I need a nice simple build. -
