HASEGAWA scale model in 1/72 scale kit review and modelling report
.... continued from page 2.....
The first 1/72 kit was issued by Hasegawa in the seventies as a A-37A/B. It was at that time the only kit, basic but OK. It was issued in various boxes and different decals over the years.
.
with Minicraft label as well
and another MINICRAFT box...
and in USAF box:
and a T-37C
The kit can not be either an A-37A
or A-37B or T-37C with same parts in the box. In reality there are differences
between these versions of the real aircraft.
But I did not bother, and made such
a kit many years ago, almost straight out of the box.
As I had spare parts and better left over decals from the ACADEMY kit, so made an South Korea ROKAF aircraft.
