Over the years, Hasegawa have released some excellent "Limited Edition" versions of their standard kits, with new decals (and, occasionally, resin parts). The line-up for this Spring looks exciting, with some interesting aircraft including British Avengers in "Suez stripes" and French Hellcats...

Hi Ollie

It'll obviously vary around the world, but a quick check of Hannants catalogue shows the new "Specials" will be about £1 or £2 more expensive than the standard kits, depending on the subject.

All the best

There was a time that Hasegawa included Aeromaster decals with their Limited Edition kits. This 1/48 kit came with markings for the "Checkertail Clan." Since building this one, I can't find any other markings that are as colorful.


I still have one of their P-47 bubbletops with Aeromaster decals. Someday . . .

Last year I built the exact same kit as you did, I had bought it when I had no clues as to what a good price for a model was.

And she's a sweatie!





Rowan, I was just teasing ya!
