ghatherly Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 HI everyone, We are starting work on Seamless intakes and both GE and PW exhausts for the Tamiya and Kinetic F-16 line of kits. We need feedback if we need to look at the Hasegawa F-16's too. Also, HTS 213 left hand WW pods and right sniper pod pylon set in 1/48 is going into production this week. Your feedback on the Hasegawa line would be appreciated. Thx, Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flybywire Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Yes Hasegawa please! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I definitely see the need for seamless intakes on the Hasegawa kits. Tamiya and Kinetic, not so much. And , since the Hasegawa and Academy lower fuselage parts are nearly identical in this area, the Academy kit would definitely benefit as well. A Hasegawa inlet is *almost* a drop in on the Academy kit, and a vast improvement over the shape of the Academy inlet. Ask me how I know..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f5guy Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hasegawa for sure. I'm down for several ;0) Fred K. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
efd327 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) I have a Hasegawa B and D and 2 A models so I would buy several. Edited January 21, 2018 by efd327 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 This is good news. Definitely what an intake for my Kinetic kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Rivera Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Sure thing! We need it for the Hasegawa kit as well. I'll purchase several. Ed, Edited January 22, 2018 by Ed Rivera Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ytsejam87 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I would be in for at least 4 hasegawa's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron Lynch Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Absolutely! We definitely need NSI & MCID intakes for the Hasegawa kits. Exhausts would be lovely as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BN7149 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I do have a Hasegawa Viper in the stash that could use a bit of dressing up... so yes, I could be sold on these. -Ryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
konbini Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Might have been answered eons ago, but if hasegawa intakes were made, would they fit the jasdf F-2 planes as well? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlienFrogModeller Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hasegawa please x 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Aren't Hasegawa 1/48 and possibly 1/72 F-16 a tad more shorter than others? Luigi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viper730 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 On exhaust ....just look at the Shull24 stuff. Doesn't get much better than that... Let me just say I HATE😤 intakes so any shortcuts in that area are most welcome!!!!👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pep Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Definitively interested in Hasegawa intakes. I’m not sure if there is a need for full intakes, I would be content with a drop in for the visible part just like they have them now where they stop at the wheel wells.

ghatherly Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Thanks for all of the input everyone. I will give it a go for intakes in both sizes. We already planned to do exhausts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not in 48th, I tried test fitting a Hasegawa F-16 inlet on an F-2 kit and it's not even close. Since the F-2 kit includes a full intake trunk the shape of the lower fuselage piece is radically different. I believe the F-2 inlet opening shape is different from the F-16 as well but I don't have documentation to support this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

While having a GE engine, the intake looks more like a small mouth intake (I forget the acronym). Perhaps they designed a larger mouth intake with the small mouth shape? The way the kit intake is engineered looks more like the Tamiya and Kinetic kits with their full trunk intakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghatherly Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 How many of you all would like F-2 Intakes and exhaust? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The way the kit intake is engineered looks more like the Tamiya and Kinetic kits with their full trunk intakes. There was a larger "small mouth" inlet on one of the F-16XL airframes that looked like an NSI unless you measured it. It also had an acronym but I don't recall it. This could be the basis for the F-2 inlet but that's pure speculation. This is based on past conversations with Mike Valdez, I don't think he posts here any more...
