1/72 Hasegawa EF Typhoon **NEW MOULDING**

Seen on the HLJ webpage, for all those that build in boys scale

I think you've mistaken the word boys for God....

Regardless, it looks pretty good, though I suspect the airbrake will be a PITA to fit closed, just like the Revell kit. It'll also be undoubtedly far more expensive than the Revell kit....

Shaun you're still getting mixed up between your scales 1/48 is God's scale

The price from Japan is around the £20 mark ex postage, and I think the Revell version retails about £12? So yes considerably more expensive, so the question is can they justify it?

We could do the scale banter all day!

I'm guessing that £20 is via HLJ? So it'll be frighteningly expensive when it hits the shop shelves, around the £35 I'm guessing. Obviously it'll be state of the art- the Revell kit is decent but getting a bit long in the tooth- but whether anyone can say it's worth the extra £20+ I'm not so sure....

With a bit of luck, I'll get this for review so won't have to pay for it!

I'll be interested to see what it's like. I think the Revell ones are great.

Really what i'd like to see is a Good version of Tornado Gr4/A released some time soon that don't cost the earth.

To be honest, bit surprised they've gone for the Typhoon over a good Tornado here, the Revell Typhoon, a few fit issues aside, is a rather good kit, and with the price this'll come in at I'm not sure where the market will be...
