MoFo Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 That's kind of annoying, really. The 1/48 kit has been out for about a year, and Hasegawa's released what, three or four sub-types? The 1/72 Draken's been out for twelve years, and they still haven't released anything other than the original, initial version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Williams Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 I know the 1/72 kit also released as an Austrian version, but don’t remember if it was the updated version with the RWR on the fin and the dispensers on the sides of the rear fuselage, like the 1/48 kit. I think this is only the third plastic change release of the 1/48 kit. Decal variations aside, the releases were the J35F/J, J35O, and now the recon version. What I can’t believe is that still no one has made Super Falcons for the 1/48 kit. We have a ton of detail stuff from Aires, some conversion stuff from Maestro (?) Models, and still no missiles.

Plastic parts are all the same, no matter if it's released as a Swedish or Austrian Draken. Sadly, I must say, since the Austrian OE differs quite a lot from a Swedish F or J... But I do cross my fingers that Hasegawa do see the potential of their 1/72 kit, now that their 1/48 scale kit has done so remarkably well.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They've had twelve years of sales to gauge the potential of their 1/72 scale kit. The fact they haven't released real alternate versions probably indicates what the sales have been like.

Dave Williams Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Hmm, already discontinued at HLJ? http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG09872 I know it's a limited edition, but this seems unusually fast! Maybe Paolo bought every one they had? Edited June 30, 2009 by Dave Williams Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paolo Maglio Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Maybe Paolo bought every one they had? :D Almost, I confess Actually all kits @ HLJ were sold out by last Saturday GMT. This kit come with too many useful parts for Danish versions to be lost. By the way I'm pretty sure Hasegawa will reissue great part of it in F-35 Danish box next year.

Thomas Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I received mine on Tuesday. Too bad I ordered only one. Need to buy one more when it comes available in Europe. BTW, one of the best box art I have ever seen- I have to admit that I like T. Hoshinos painting style more than Shigeo Koike´s. Is there another box art from this guy available, or is this his first?

Pierre Sacha Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hi Guys, FWIW and AFAIK the Austrian J35OE MkII used some mods as applied to late Danish birds, such as the fin top antennae. A resin conversion set for an Austrian MkII which is quite good can be ordered HERE. It is made for the 1/72 Hasegawa/Revell kit and contains a small PE fret for the cockpit panels, a new rear exhaust section with the dispensers on the bottom, a new decking behind the cockpit and the new fin top antennae plus some other stuff that I can´t remember right now. Hope that helps Rgds Pierre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
