Hello, I need to know what is the origin of new Revell 1/48 kits of Ar-234C and Hs-129 ? Is that Ar-234 Hasegawa or Hobbycraft or ... ? How about Hs-129 kit ? If Revell Ar-234C ( four engines) is actually reboxed Hasegawa Ar-234 kit, is it possible to make Ar-234B (two engines) out of it ? Thanks in advance, Zac

The Revell Ar-134C is an all new kit, via Hasegawa, and as far as I remember does not share any major parts with the earlier Hawsegawa Ar-234B. So no, you can't make a B from a C. They were different aircraft anyway.
As for the Hs-129, I assume it's the earlier Hasegawa kit in a RoG box since that has become the custom of R-M of late. (Lucky for us I might add)

Okay guys listen up. Revell/Monogram and Hasegawa pooled their resources and developed the AR-234, jointly. Hasegawa released the twin engine version. Revell via the Promodeler division released the 4 engine machine. Now if Revell Germany is releasing a twin or quad engine plane then it is indeed a Hasegawa kit or Revell kit depending on how you view things. BTW they are nice kits.
