It's what you've been waiting for! (HSG09700). Starfighter runners, for a sneak preview. The kit will be arriving at the end of June. The 1/72 F-4J Phantom II 'Colorful Marine Corps' VFMA-312 is a decal variant, but a very attractive one. Look for it in July (HSG00812).

Hasegawa is releasing their 1/48 Focke-Wulf 190 A-3 with new parts to upgrade it to a remarkably accurate A-4. Coming at the end of June. Here's the P-400 Airacobra in 1/48 scale; note that the photo is of Monogram kit. Hasegawa's kit will definitely vary from what is seen in the photo as it will be an all-new tooling of this model. The Airacobra will be released at the end of July (HSGJT92).

Biggest and best of all, Tamiya's 1/32 Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero 21 will be released in June! (TAM60317) The 'in flight' base will be included, as will a seated pilot figure for the cockpit. Optional parts for folded wings will also be included, to allow you to build them either way (they will not be hinged, unfortunately).
