Hasegawa Hobby Kits presents two distinctive types of
transportation. One flies in the air while
the other practically flies on the ground.
In service since 1988 the Red Dolphin recently celebrated the
50th Anniversary of its namesake, the T-4, by changing its color
scheme.
Streamlined and consisting of twin engines, twin pilot cockpit,
distinctive silhouette and swept back wings and oversize rear fin, the Red Dolphin
is the epitome of the Jet Age.
The oversize canopy, tilted slightly forward, makes for excellent
visibility and its short nose, acronymic form and powerful engines help the
craft to be one of the most versatile, fast and maneuverable trainers in the air-excellent
for pilots in training.
As with all Hasegawa Hobby kits the Red Dolphin kits
contains precision modeled and crafted pieces with little or no flashing,
complete instructions for paint, assembly and decals and a short historical text
on the aircraft contained in the instructions.
Not as fast, but just as impressive, is the 1/12 Scale Yamaha
YZR500 Team Lucky Strike Limited Edition model kit fashioned after the famous
Team Lucky Strike Roberts Yamaha ten time Grand Prix winner.
This slick new (updated) model kit has a wraparound shroud
for acronymic efficiency, integrated seat, new brake calipers and decals for
#17, Wayne Rainey.
Once painted and decaled in white, red and yellow the Team
Lucky Yamaha model looks as if it might jump off its custom kickstand and race
around the room!
