fulcrum1 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I finally had to pay the Piper and go the eBay route.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hasegawa-1-48-A-4B-C-SKYHAWK-FALKLANDS-Model-Kit-/142393852443?hash=item212755c21b:g:VUUAAOSwIQdZJtcW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brad-M Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) 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 Edited June 1, 2017 by Brad-M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So the top sheet comes with the resin needed? I ask because it doesn't seem to say so on the link. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 It does come with the resin. In very poor English it mentions it in the description. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat Tweeker Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 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...

Brad-M Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hey Guys, Is the USN boxed A-4B the same as the Falkland's boxed A-4B/C without the antenna? Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
louie Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 pm sent. what i am talking about in my is the condor resin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 You could look for the Hobby Craft kit. Its not Hasegawa but its not a bad kit. And the decals are excellent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crash Test Dummy Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) 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.
