Shizokua 2022 info

[adameliclem]

Looking at Hasegawa’s Shizokua 2022 entries,  I noticed they showed Border’s Lancaster sprues. I guess Hasegawa has a Japanese distribution arrangement with Border? Price listed as 112,000¥. 

 

Hasegawa does have a sweet 1983 RX-7 in 1/24th, and a new 1/72nd Armored Valkyrie for my “Macross” peeps.

I'm certainly excited about the Tamiya F1 kits that are coming back on the market.

You are not alone!  Tamiya has been quietly going through the back catalog of 1/12 stuff and refreshing them.

 

New decals from Cartograf and a set of photo etch parts, along with (I assume) modern formula rubber tires that won't disintegrate over time.

 

It's all very welcome indeed!  

 

I am likely to grab the Renault Re-20, which I always loved but never bought/attempted.

If you like that, NuNu Beemax or whatever it is, is releasing very soon a 1/12 Lotus 99T which I plan to pick up and announced a 1/12 McLaren Mp 4/4 which will come out probably in 2024 as it was only an announcement no sprues or photos

I’m hoping Hasegawa will eventually release right hand drive versions of their two street RX-7 kits.

Love Macross myself. I'm currently working on the Hasegawa 1/48 Strike Valkyrie. 

 

 

I'm using it as a test build for my Max Factory 1/20 Strike Valkyrie.

Thanks for the heads up.  I would definitely be interested in the MP 4/4 in 1/12 scale.  Would look good next to my Mp 4/6...if I ever actually build it!  LOL

 

I've been working on the Tamiya F190 on and off for a while now.

I started my MP4/6 back in 1993. Still haven't gotten close to finishing it.
