Fukuryu Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Well, I'm happy. Very much so. T'was about time to have a modern, state-of-the-art Hayate. I hope now for a complete Ki-43 family... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt-92 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Totally OK with this choice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 They have pre-order deals if you include a second kit from their existing line (limited to set choices), but the math does not add from the prices in parenthesis? Example, Ki-84 plus Wildcat (€19.98) + (€19.13) = €43.30 ?? https://www.armahobby.com/70051-nakajima-ki-84-hayate-expert-set.html?utm_source=armahobbynews&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=Ki-84&utm_term=Ki-84-announcement&utm_content=en regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fukuryu Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 €71.13, no VAT, for 5 Expert sets is a pretty good deal for me: You get the Hayate with a good complement of its adversaries! BTW, artwork by Koike Shigeo... that's a plus for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The artwork alone is worth buying the kit lol i wish they would add a post card with the box art to frame, kinda like how afv club used to do with their kits 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRK4m Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 A slimming treatment is coming up for my wallet. Not only is the P-51D/K coming, but also in the company of my favorite Jap - Hayate. Cheers Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishplanebeer Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 If the figures in brackets are the ex-vat prices then they come to 94.83 Euros in total according to my maths so is 71.13 the deal they are offering? Regards Colin. Ps. would still have preferred a Spitfire XII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Yesterday I was tempted in LMS by the box of a long time not seen there Hasegawa's Hayate. I resisted, now I know that it was even better win with a temptation that I thought... This time I will not resist... On shelves I have Revell Hayate done some 48 or 49 years ago and surely there is a time and room for a new one! Regards J-W 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Poultney Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Nice, but not for me. I'll sit this release out. Glad it's another subject covered by a high end modern kit though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 Source: https://www.facebook.com/ArmaHobby/posts/5224575564239425 Quote Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate was produced in two basic versions, Ko and Otsu, differing externally only in minor details. This allowed Maciek "Wrona" Wroński to design a model kit with lots of fine details, allowing for easy build of both versions "out of the box", with a relatively little complication of the plastic sprues.

Violet Club Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I don't know the quality of Arma kits ? Are these like the Dora Wings or Clear Prop kits (in terms of injection quality, crisp details...) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steh2o Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Wings of pegasus report on the design of this kit is at the end of this page: http://soyuyo.main.jp/ar196/ar196.html#last the analysis conducting to this shape and dimensions can be found here http://soyuyo.main.jp/ki84/ki84e-1.html and it is very interesting. I'm happy that Arma choose to base its design on Tenma work although a 3D scan of the real thing would be the last word about the real Hayate shape-Tamiya, you missed that one too!

Graham Boak Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I prefer the Arma Hurricane to the Eduard Spitfire, but there's not a lot in it. Arma appear to be consistently the most accurate and finely moulded, well-fitting, kits of the latest generation. I've not tried Dors Wings nor Clear Prop because of lack or sufficient interest in the subjects, though comments seem to find the former variable in build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of close to Eduard quality, but generally slightly less fiddly and slightly better engineered. They are the sort of manufacture that makes me want to buy a subject that I might not normally have bought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point; that's how Exito were able to sell me a P-51B - curiosity, after reading all the glowing comments, and I was not disappointed. My stack of Arma Yak-1B kits is further testimonial to Arma's high quality, although the Brengun Yak-1 and Yak-1B are pretty darn nice, too. I keep wondering how well the Arma Yak-1B kit sold (to people besides me, I mean), and whether it did well enough to justify a Yak-9 some day...
