Hasegawa is making a 1/32 Tony!

Great...that's one more I'll have to get...

There's already one available, although it costs somewhat more than $40.

That's probably about what the old Revell kit's going for on eBay. Is Hasegawa revamping the old Revell 1/32 stuff?

I think Hasegawa just saw a market, considering what the old Revell Tony was going for (and it's not that good a kit by modern standards), plus it's a Japanese aircraft, just the thing for the home market. I hope they keep it up and maybe do the Jack next.

Here are some pictures of the model.

Is there a big home market for WW2 stuff in Japan? I would have thought it was a period most Japs wanted to forget? Just curious, don't want to start a political thread.

The not all that much wrong with the old Revell Raiden. I have three 1970s vintage kits of it in the storage locker. Guess I'd better get busy and build them.

I'll wait for the $40 dollar one, thank you. ;~)

I have a couple vintage 1/32 Revell Ki-61s in the storage locker with the Raidens as well. I haven't even given them a thought in some 30 years and never gave a thought to their collector's value. All are perfect with perfect box........are they valuable now?

Well I bought my Raiden off ebay around 5-6 years ago for around $50......

I bought the ones I have, along with the Tonys about the mid-1970s for around $5.00 each. ;~p

Well Bill, when youre done with two and don't want to build another, just pack it up with the spare Midwing George and send it here, I'll help yuo build them ;^)

Actually did the Raiden a while ago and would like to do anothjer now my skils have improved, it's a nice kit. My Tony was twisted at the tail, but otherwise nice too. They are not as detailed as modern kits,but that just leaves something for you to do.

that is what I did too!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I had a Daisy bb rifle and lots of paint thinner and matches.... Tell me, what is a 13 year old kid gonna do - display it or blow it to bits???

Craig

;~)

I did the same with a couple of the old Aurora (I think) kits that I built in the late 50s. ;~)

Just so long as it isn't another Frankenkit with cutouts to rerelease as a Ki-100--or a P-51. If I wanted Lego, I'd buy Lego . .
