Long Shot Request-WTB Hasegawa 1/48 A-4B/C Falklands


Recommended Posts

Thanks, but I'm not too crazy about paying over $100+ shipping. I know it's OOP and hard to find, but wow. I'd pay a good price, but that's almost as bad as WnW kit prices on Ebay.

 

Thanks

Brad

I bought one roughly a year ago on eBay for $60.00. The seller only sold to US buyers, I had a friend bid on it for me then ship it to Canada.

 

I think the reason I managed to get the bargain was because the seller didn't ship worldwide.

 

Seeing what this seller is getting is so tempting.

Brad, I can help you out with this decal sheet:

 

http://www.condordecals.com.ar/condordecals/cp_producto_detalles.php?rubroID=10&subrubroID=9&prod=83#

 

It also comes with the resin dorsal antennae. I'll mail it to you at no cost.

 

Or you can order this decal set:

 

http://www.condordecals.com.ar/condordecals/cp_producto_detalles.php?rubroID=10&subrubroID=9&prod=82

 

All you need is a Hasegawa A-4C kit which is easier to find.

So the top sheet comes with the resin needed? I ask because it doesn't seem to say so on the link.

Say Brad.... If ya have a source for ordering replacement sprues for Hasagawa kits.... You can order B/C specific sprues and convert a HAS A-4M They are fairly cheap. Can do it for about  $50 bucks including the M Kit.....

 

Need Sprue M, G and for the C model Sprue L. And for the B... Sprue K

The Hasegawa USN A-4B and A-4C boxings only have the nose and instrument panel for that model, not both.  The Falklands kit has both noses.  FYI, the resin antenna Hasegawa includes for the dorsal antenna is odd.  The A-4B and A-4C had unique shapes for the antenna on each model and the Hasegawa kit is somewhere in between the two. If you want a Falklands model, I'd go for the cheapest boxing you can find of the appropriate USN version and go aftermarket for decals and the Argentinian specific pieces. I started with a Falklands kit and ended up getting the Condor conversion as I learned more about the details. Sadly the kit ended up on the shelf of doom when the Future laid down poorly.
