stevehnz Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Those are rather nice. Something I've not seen before. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuflyer Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 It'd be really nice if they moulded the flying durfaces in clear to make getting the see through effect possible. *Rummages about looking for some rtv and resin* yes I'd like at least the 2 1/50th ones. Odd scales though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 The extreme left hand one is one of those 1930s pre war German gliders I think the SG 38 Schul gleiter. The other two not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICMF Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Err... it says on the box art. One's an SG 38, one's a Horikawa H-22(B-3), and one's a Slingsby Skylark. As for the odd scales... these are (literally) the first plastic model kits Hasegawa released, before standard scales were a thing. (I'll be interesting to see if they re-release their 1/70 Visible Mustang, too) Edited November 4, 2016 by ICMF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) I gather at least one or two "1/50" old Hase kits are 1/48 anyway... I will have the Skylark and see. Edited November 4, 2016 by Work In Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICMF Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Yeah, I know it's been re-popped a few times. I meant, I wonder if they will re-release it as well, to coincide with their 75th anniversary. Since it's one they often bring back for special occasions. I also wonder if these gliders will be run off the original 55 year old toolings, or whether they'll have to cut new molds for production. I could see it being a bit of a production headache for the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 If the tools have been properly stored - and I'm sure they have - then they'll have no difficulty. If they were doing all new models then they'd use standard scales and they'd say they were new kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
