thierry laurent Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Jeez! 85$ for an Hasegawa 190D9... ! Are they crazy? I am really happy I got all the Hasegawa kits that interested me as their prices are becoming really insane. In comparison a Tamiya single engine kit is becoming cheaper as I will not have to add a bunch of aftermarket kits. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick HMD Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The next 1/32 Hasegawa kit is..... not going to be in my stash. Nor mine. That's a rather homely looking aircraft. Ugly looking aircraft just don't do it for me no matter how significant. Life's too short for me to even think of building such a model aircraft. Others here may disagree, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And at the risk of sounding politically incorrect (who cares, I'm just too dam old to be worrying about it), life's too short to be asking ugly girls to dance. I prefer two-stepping and waltzing with the pretty ones. lol Jolly Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) I have the original ICM boxing and it's a great kit. Looking forward to the 1/32 ICM I-153 due soon, and their quarter inch scale Foxbat PD and RBF. Hope Hasegawa stick to new tool Japanese themes in 1/32, as they're so supremely good at it. Anything monoplane with or without trousered undercart or floats. Tony ...and I like the Rata. Reminds me of playing Plane Crazy with my kids back in the late nineties.

LSP_K2 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Jeez! 85$ for an Hasegawa 190D9... ! Are they crazy? Yep, that is pretty stiff. Beautiful kit, but I won't grab one, not at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Speaking of Hasegawa, the J2M2 model 11 Raiden (Jack) is also due for release. I imagine this is a rework of the type 14, with new decals, but still pretty interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATCplSlade Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 And at the risk of sounding politically incorrect (who cares, I'm just too dam old to be worrying about it),... Don't worry, the ADL and the Southern Poverty Law Center are working on a program to take care of guys like you... ...and most people in general.

Guest Maxim Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) I wish they would give us more new kits instead of so many re boxing's. How about a Kate or a Val or as below in 32 scale. All would sell well. Edited March 15, 2018 by Maxim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob MDC Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Another angle ICM gets into the Japanese internal market with a known manufacturer, and the internal market is quite healthy Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 If you want one , get it soon as this is a "Limited Production" issue. It doesn't make sense to me. How hot is this kit ?? They must be getting it for real cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 What are we talking about is not a NEW kit and it's not a HASEGAWA kit. You can get it from Revell or ICM for dirt cheap, end of discussion. The only market that is targeted in this case is Japan, end of story. Hasegawa is a dead horse, don't touch it please.

Zero77 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 is ICM selling molds left and right? Obviously they are.... I already have 2 type 24 (1 ICM and 1 Revell) and a type 28. I really like those nice little kits, but i doubt i would buy another type 24. There is more camo and countries option with the type 10 (USSR, Spain, China...), and a type 5 with full canopy would be very nice too. I hope ICM is going to release the full familly.

What do you mean saying "guys like me." Sure sounds like an insult to me. Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't need anyone to take care of me. And you seem ill bred not showing any respect for your elders, kind sir. Your parents should have taught you better. I have stood the mid watch on the bridge of a Navy destroyer escort in cold blinding rain out in the middle of the Atlantic while you were probably sleeping in your baby crib all warm and comfy. I'm sure all this will be deleted, but I just had to get this off my chest. And no, I'm not taking any meds. Don't need any. My final word.

ssculptor Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Renting the molds is a lot less expensive than making new ones. Besides, this gives Hasegawa more capital to finance the molds of the 1/32 Kate and the Val which I have decided that they will produce in the next two years (1 each year). I have decided - so be it.
