I have both, and IMO the Hasegawa kit is far superior.

You ship to Canada?

Nice! Think I saw this on reddit. ..you say this is a snap kit?!

I was dreaming last night about 1/72 B-1B stuff. Something must be coming. 1/72 is much more realistic for me than the 1/48 B-1B kit sitting in my stash!

Source?

As the title says, I'm looking for Twobobs sheet #72-028, VF-32 Gypsy Swordsmen. Located in Canada, PM me please! Thanks

PMed RE: A-4s

IMO the Hasegawa is the best 1/72 F-14 available, however the Fujimi kit goes together easier. The Fujimi F-14A is still a great kit but their F-14A+/B/D are inaccurate on the exhausts and chin pods.

Isn't that a diecast?

Besides Fine Molds which is going to be pretty hard to get, IMO it's Hasegawa for sure. The Fujimi is a great kit if you're building an "A", but for a B or D the engine fairings are incorrect and the chin pod is off.

Cool, been thinking about grabbing one of these. Will be following!

Pumped to see another 1/72 sheet coming out. I've bought pretty much every Furball release that's come out, even though I'm primarily a 1/72 guy.. By the way, I'd give my left nut to see the Growlers Part I sheet come out in 1/72. I want to do that camo-tail Growler so bad!!

Hey all, looking for a 1/72 Hasegawa ES-3A shadow kit for a project at a reasonable price. The 1/72 ResIm conversion kit would work too. Located in Canada, PM me please

Agree, I have never liked the model master acrylics. I now use either Mr. Color clear or I also have some Humbrol lacquer which actually seems to go down pretty well.

I'd imagine in their primary market they're making enough money and aren't willing to take the risk on new molds. I dunno if it's the case, but I once read somewhere Hasegawa is actually a pretty small company with like 20-30 employees or something. As for Tamiya, I think their plastic airplane line is just a drop in the bucket to them compared to remote control and even plastic model cars. I guess there isn't much motivation to shift efforts to airplanes, and that makes sense. What do I think? More 1/72 scale models need to come out, I'm a 1/72 scale modeller and there are literally dozens

Nice! Been waiting for this.

I'll go for: 41) MAW-Decals "VMFA-122 Crusaders" F/A-18C in 1/48 Merry Christmas, thanks!

Got my kit and decals today, thanks bud!

Congrats guys, I just got my SLUF and SEAD Specialist sheets yesterday so that's a win for me! Awesome sheets!

Cooooool. Just happened to make an order last night!

Count me in! I've missed the past three raffles or so and it's time for me to get back to modelling!

Yep, without the flag on the splitter.

The spine on the Revell kit is shaped wrong too. I prefer the Hasegawa by far, and the five that I own have all been way cheaper than a Revell kit. I have one, kit 02101 (VFA-41 F/A-18F) that has the updated ECS vents. There is no ASQ-228 pod update..but the instructions in my kit now list the AAS-38 as the ASQ-228..without updating the part, lol.
