Upcoming Hasegawa Ki-43 re-release of olde kit

[Tony T]

I have two Hassy Oscars, one being the funky Manchoukuo edition. There was an Eduard etch set which is still available if you search, e.g.

It could do with being retooled, the way Hasegawa did with its very nice Type 52 Zero.

The Ki 43 does build easily, but is a mix of -1 , -2, and -3 parts which as I remember was not called out in the build sequence.

I think I'll keep it as the chances of Hasegawa re-releasing an updated P-47M are slim-to-none.  Anyway, it would cost a small fortune to post it to Sweden from the U.S. 

It costs a fortune WITHIN Sweden so i can only imagine.

It's good to see Hasegawa getting back into 1/32 LSP's.  I need their P-40N on my shelf of done, and I'd love a blue camo P-47M too.  Got an email yesterday from Metro Hobbies in Melbourne announcing a restock of the Hasegawa Bf-109F, but since I already have another manufacturer's Freidrich in my stash, I won't be availing myself of that.

 

It will interesting to see what else gets a re-release, especially if they've been updated.  Not holding my breath for that, though.  Ditto Tamiya getting back into LSP's unfortunately.
