A few more future releases.

[Ralph Haus]

The "new" Hayate is a re-hashed version of Hasegawa's 1999 kit and is yet another instance of them adding new decals and, I'm willing to bet, jacking the price significantly.

You are most likely a soothsayer? My go to HS has the 2008 9067 kit (New Box) at $28.69 (discounted from $41.99) and the 2020 7501 kit (New Decals) at $36.99 (discounted from $49.99). So a wild guess would be $53.00 suggested and probably $45.00 discounted. Buy and old one (same sprue plastic?) and add your stash decals. Wallah!

It's been Hasegawa's modus operandi for decades.

The French must be so jealous

Oh my word! Did it really fly.........................................

 

[N4521U]

It looks like a quarry rock crusher!

 

[Viking1066]

This is a common practice with Hasegawa. You see Special Edition and the decals released are new.

 

[Viking1066]

I should know, I buy them all

It ain't just the Hassie's, most do it and have for decades since the molded the markings into the kit! (Ie Lindbergh)

That is one weird looking bird Jim.....

 

[Lucky13]

.....and some retailers ask for your left testicle, for out of print decals!

 

[Capt. Vick]

The left! Never! That's my favorite! The right maybe...if I can get it back from the wife.

 

[Lucky13]

Kinda disappointed that there's no Old Crow!

Oh my word! Did it really fly.........................................

It was built to test the principle of a "flying boat".

 

[Lucky13]

"Old Crow" N167F P-51D

For most of the 2000s the Scandinavian Historic Flight's P-51 flew in a drab/pale grey version of its long-time "Old Crow" scheme, paying tribute to "Bud" Anderson's time in the 357th FG.
