Hasegawa FW190D-9

[MESHER]

I picked up a couple Hasegawa 1/48 FW190 kits, the A-6/A-8 and F-8 and wow, I am not an expert on accuracy but I think they are better than the Tamiya FW190 kits and sure are easier to build then the Eduard. I was very impressed in how good the fit was, gear legs look the right length, the only thing I can't understand is the wheels, my understanding is the only late FWD-9's had wheels with no tread, looks like they put the same wheels in their 1/48 scale kits as the 1/32nd. I hear Ultracast is going to do some resin wheels and other items for FW190's in the new year.

So the only thing I am waiting for now is for Hasegawa to pop 1/48 D-9, this should be the same shrunk down from their 1/32 scale birds. I think that is all they have left, wonder when we will see this new kit from them?

Anyone else's thoughts are appreciated.
