Falcon and Ivory



Hasegawa Hobby Kits has just released two new aircraft models.  Both are Limited Editions and 1:72 Scale.
 
As with all Hasegawa Hobby Kits the models are precision sculpted with tight fitting parts and minimal flashing are detailed to perfection and easy to assemble if the instructions are followed.  Painting instructions are precisely laid out and with the enclosed decals each model looks exactly like its larger counterpart, right down to minutest detail.

Hasegawa Hobby Kits prides itself on the accuracy of its models and veteran model makers will enjoy the historical, mechanical and authenticity of Hasegawa's models while novice model makers will appreciate how Hasegawa provides plenty of support and tips on how to make their model making experience enjoyable and rewarding.

 
The F-16BM Fighting Falcon Test Support is a rear mounted twin engine jet with impressive fire power-including missile capabilities.

The dual passenger cockpit contains state-of-the-art tracking, firing and warning instrumentation.

Long, slender and utilizing a large tail and wing profile the Fighting Falcon also comes with spare fuel tanks for extended flight capabilities.  It also is capable of night flight, long range enemy detection and offers impressive maneuverability and speed. 

The Shinmeiwa US-1 Rescue Ivory amphibious rescue aircraft boasts a lower fuselage shape like a boat, twin side pontoons for stability when land and taking off from water and retractable wheels for landing on turf.

Its large over-the-fuselage front wings support four powerful prop engines while its large tail fin (for stability) supports the rear wings mounted at its top.

Twin pilot seats comprise the multi window cockpit, various fuselage bulges hide delicate detection equipment and the large bulbous nose make air and sea rescue possible with its hidden scanning equipment.

While only a limited number of aircraft were produced the Rescue Ivory boasts and impressive rescue record of hundred of people.
