Stephen Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I expect that the next re-release of the V-22 kit will be for the CMV-22 as the first have been delivered to Pax River and it's quite a simple scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan market first. Two first JGSDF Osprey were delivered to Kisarazu AB on 10th and 16th July 2020. https://flyteam.jp/news/article/126529 V.P.

modelldoc Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 The next limited edition for a Rosenbauer Airfield Crash Tender, what are different from the other two? (Only decals?) modelldoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilwell Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 > what are different from the other two? According to Google Translate: "The base cover of the water gun is set with new plastic parts." "The exterior parts of the water tank in the center of the vehicle body are selectable in two shapes." Also: > Only decals? "Reproduce the chemical fire engine operated by the Civil Aviation Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism!" Not "only decals". But also decals - civvie rather than mil.

Ad-4N Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 The 747-200 is a welcome re-release. Only seen -400s for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Hasegawa to make an announcement tomorrow for November and December releases, hopefully something new. http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/2020_11_12_new/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
occa Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Likely a new 1/48 aircraft kit even if I hope for a new tool 1/72 Mavis and-or a Ki-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Pete Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Why would it be a new 1/48 aircraft kit, @occa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just guessing into the blue, but the last new tool was the 1/72 Emily so for the change I thought the next could be a 1/48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Pete Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Ah, right. TBH, I think it could be anything, they have such a diverse catalogue these days. Maybe it's a new forklift to add to their construction equipment range (yay!), or some anime related stuff, or a new 1980 Japanese car model, or maybe even an aircraft. The artwork they use for the announcement has a F-104 in the background with a character from an anime called Gārī Ea Fōsu (Girly Air Force). Maybe it's related to that. (I had to look that show up, btw ) I wouldn't hold my breath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 ☹️, that is all l can say about their releases. Regards Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 so some 48th re-releases... same old standard decal options only it seems! F-104J F-2A T-4 looks a ll a but Japan focused to me! I am not familiar with the D3A1, so no idea what that exactly is, labeled as new nontheless.... and the BF109E4 with figure.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 While we lament their not releasing anything truly new, their business model must work because they continue re-releasing kits and don't appear to be losing any money in the process. Like others, I really would like to see something truly new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Pete Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Well, that Nissan Skyline and the Toyota Supra both are new tools, it seems. Hasegawa just isn't that airplane focused anymore. If you go to Japanese webshops like HLJ or 1999.co.jp for instance, you will see there's a huge selection of anime related stuff. The same goes for Japanese car models. Airplane models are a lot more limited when it comes to variation. I think it's a pretty good move by Hasegawa to shift their focus on the home market.

Which is actually interesting, as I remember Airfix and Fujimi having done that one (1/72), and a loooooooooooooooooooooong time ago. The CyberHobby one is more recent but is 40€ or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I'm detecting a bit of Japanese humor with those "Chubo 01 Mechatrobots" - that's an interesting position for the operator's seat...... Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acinonyx Jubatus Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The Ki-84 Frank in 1/48 is very welcome for me as it has become difficult to obtain lately I just hope Hasegawa will get round to reissuing the 1/48 type 21 Zero in the future, great kit but impossible to get hold of in the UK at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad-4N Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Why no 1/48 A-4B Skyhawk re-release? It baffles the mind. They command large dollars on eBay. Clearly a market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 If only the JASDF used the Skyhawk. Regards Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hasegawa have quite clearly decided to concentrate on their home market which must make sense to them. I can understand that people are disappointed by this, my guess is that with Tamiya being so strong as a worldwide brand it is a good option. Looking at images from the big Japanese trade show, the hobby there works along different lines to what we think of as 'normal' in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
