I dunno, pretty chuffed with the Honda N360 & the BMW 2002ti - and the Bunny :P

 

 

Yes, 1/12 'Blond Girl' looks interesting. And to think the last figure in that scale that I excitedly put together was probably Airfix's Yeoman of the Guard... 😄

I am starting to think the 1/48 A-4B tooling has found its resting place next to the Otaki 1/144 TriStar molds at the bottom of Tokyo Bay.

If that's so, then we need a new tool early A-4 ASAP.

They are still re-releasing other versions of the 1/48 A-4 so it’s more likely they don’t see there being enough demand to do a reboxing. Personally, I would like another A-4L boxing. There was only ever one of those.

Outside Japan on some sites: 80+ euros :D

 

If it's over 35,00 EUR (VAT incl.) in your local hobby shop, kill your dealer ! I mean go away, vote with your wallet.

Last release price was, VAT incl.: 23,00 EUR

I can't believe they're still putting out their 1/72 old mold Mitsubishi T-2 !!  It's clearly now outclassed by Platz's offering.  And that F-15J looks like their old raised panel line one.  That TBM-3S2 Avenger looks nice though. Too bad the rear canopy is not injection molded but clear resin just like their previous JMSDF offering.

The F-14, A-6 and F-8 are old tool as well. Very interesting company, Hasegawa. Not interesting in a positive way mind; more like seeing someone careening towards very embarrassing midlife crisis decisions - makes you wonder: what in the name are they thinking..?

Resting on their laurels way-too-much! 🙄

 

I can't remember the last time I bought an actual new kit from them in 1/72.  They really need to re-tool their G4M1 and come out with a Ki-21.

Oldtimers retired, new blood came, with it new ideas, but why their non limited catalogue is almost without any change for a decade, one of life mysteries, same for selling long oop but still top plastic for few $/€ to third parties instead of re-issuing those toolings themselves...mindblowing compared what and where they were decade ago.

I assume Hasegawa hadn't kept their website security certificates up to date.

At least, they hadn't earlier; alternatively, the use of an "https://" prefix was inappropriate (although it defaulted to that when I left the prefix out).

But I can connect to their site OK now.

 

Also note that the "December" Facebook link goes to the December 2020 page. 

The "November" Facebook link goes to the November / December 2021 flyer:

These go to the lists of planned releases:
