Hasegawa makes
many aircraft model kits, but one sad surprise when you open their jet kits is
the lack of ordnance. Hasegawa instead prefers to sell the ordnance
separately in ordnance kits. As you can see by the
picture above of the boxart....there is plenty of "stores" in this one
box.
This set mainly
covers a little bit of everything from a gun pods to smart bombs to laser range
finders/target locators. Included are two Suu-30 gun pods, two Mk. 20
Rockeye, four GBU-8 TV guided bombs, two GBU-15 TV guided bombs, two GBU-10
laser guided bombs, two GBU-12 laser guided bombs, two HIPEG 20mm gun pods, two
SUU-23 20mm guns pods, two Pave Spike laser rangefinder pods, two Pave Knife
laser designator pods, two Multiple Ejector Rack and two Triple Ejector
Rack.
Also included is
a quite complete decal sheet....the clarity of the text is not all readable due to
the scale, but the decals are crisply printed. The instructions include painting instructions using Gunze Sangyo
Aqueous Hobby Color line of paints. Considering there are only 7 basic colours
mentioned in the paint guide in the instructions and the 3 most used are white,
silver and olive drab, I doubt anyone will have any problems using their favourite
brand of paints.
The casting of
the grey plastic is typical Hasegawa high quality. Beautiful panel lines
although some are recessed and some are raised and only a microscopic amount of
flash.
All in all a good
set to have when you want to add these stores to your latest kit.
