timc Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I never knew Hasegawa released a 1/48 F-5E Tiger II. Unless I'm way off, I think the pictures in the article showing the model being held tell me it's actually 1/32 scale. If it is indeed 1/32 that makes a whole lot more sense than a kit I've never heard of before. I knew AFV Club released an F-5E but not Hasegawa.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gonzalo Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hasegawa released a Monogram F-5E under the brand name Hasegawa. It was a Monogram mold. They did it for the F-5F twoseater as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j-basset Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Gonzalo is correct. I have personally seen the 'Hasegawa' 1/48 F-5E kit, and confirm it's the Monogram one with the same decal options as the original 1/32 F-5E kit. There may have been more than one boxing of the Monogram F-5E by Hasegawa. I have also seen the 1/48 F-5F with the black adversary jet (with flame artwork on the nose and leading edges).

Jennings Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Monogram kits have come in Hasegawa boxes in Japan for decades. Same way with Italeri kits in Tamiya boxes (in Japan). Marketing agreement, that's all. It's just that before the internets people didn't know about them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
