HLJ News Flash! New Fall/Winter 2004 Air Kits!

Well, the Promodeler version was adequate, the Amtech version is nice, but this is too much. Not neccessary in my view. The 1/32 Ki-84 ought to be sweet, I wish they'd do one in 1/72. Oh, wait, I'm building their's from the sixties! Cheers,

The Hasegawa 72nd Ki-84 was a 1982/3 release IIRC.Released alongside a Ki-43-II. Some of the last Hasegawa tooling with raised panel lines I think. . .

Yes, I've built the Hasegawa as well as the Revell (with engine!) Right now I'm working on the Tamiya 1/72 issue which was done in the sixties along with a zero, tojo, shinden, and jack. The rivets are petite and this one has lovely retractable gear! Great fun for a slammer. Cheers,

I wouldn't mind seeing a Hasegawa-quality 1/48 scale P-40E. I am quite interested in the Ki-84 in 1.32 scale (their 1/48 kit was very nice for its scale).

True: That old 1/32 scale Hayate from some now defunct Japanese Company that keeps popping up under other names has good outlines and panel lines, but the kiddy features to allow it to roll around on the floor with an electric motor spinning the propeller are a pain to work around. And making room for the battery pack completely eliminated any cockpit detail. You have a lot of scratch building to make it right.

Oh, would that be great if it is accurate! Jack "the 109 nut"

awfully small though..... :-)

Pickin's look sorta slim........

Tomy?

That's the one! My memory ain't what it used to be, and names are the thing that gives me the most trouble.

Bill Shuey

Yeah, I keep forgetting people's names but don't seem to have a problem remembering useless trivia. Go figure,

The Keeper (of too much crap!)

Ditto. At least I come by it honestly. My mother used to call me Dave.

That's not my name.

I'm an only child.

That might worry some people.

Tom

I am a David and my wife has called me Fred for as long as I have known her (40 years). I am convinced she was two timing me and used the other guy's name. She covered up by pretending it was a pet name for me and it stuck - well that's the theory I tell the kids:-)

LOL! My grandmother would call me by at least two of her kids before she got to my name. Cheers,

That is better than being "Thundergator" which got slewed to "Thunderbelly" in the ready room. I yearned for the days of plan old "Dammit".

I think we may be related.

My late grandmother used to look straight at me and call me by: my dad's name his brother's name their brother in law's name my cousin's name another cousin's name still another cousin's name

She used to do the same thing with my cousin, call him 4 or 5 different names 'till she got to the right one.

He used to call it "calling the family roll"
