Quick question for all you lads and lasses(don't forget the laydees!) out there.... Are Hasegawa kits any good?
The reason i ask is i've been offered one it's tha Toyota Corrolla wrc kit in 1/24th scale and i've never built any Hasegawa's not too common in U.K well not in my local shop anyway.
Should i go for it or just stick to Tamiyas which as we all know are excellent kits!
Would be happy to hear your opinions:confused: :bloated:

Hasegawa race car kits are typically on par with Tamiya. Their road car kit can be hit or miss... :)

The Hasegawa kits have more realism in the use of photo etched parts and real selt belts and buckles as compared to the tamiya decaled seat belts (definitly more challenging)
I am at preasent building a hasegawa subaru impreza WRC rally car from 93- 94 season check out the seat belt work

The few that i have done have been fairly good, although i found there decals to be rather thick and were cracking when trying to mold them around things.
Overall they are a good kit

you won't be dissapointed! hasegawa kits are great
i think fit wise they are a little worse than tamia, but on average have more pieces and more detail
so it's a fair tradeoff
