I think that for the money, these are the best aircraft kits (at least in 1:48 scale) on the market today. Hasegawa has a nice line of models - I'm not sure just how many I've made, but I have always been happy with the detail on the kits and with the final results. Fit usually is close to perfect - these kits need a minimum of touching up in the way of filling gaps, filing off flash or excess plastic, etc. Instructions are very good, and I find the decals supplied with the kits very good as well. I have couple of Hasegawas in the closet waiting to be worked on - the next to be tackled probably will be a Japanese Kawasaki Tony. I made one about seven or eight years ago but traded it off for something else. Enough with this post already!
