Hasegawa Evolution Lancer ?

[Emp3ror]

Does Hasegawa make Evolutions VII, VIII, IX ?

And where can I find the Evolution IV, V, VI GSR ? I've tried looking around HLJ and really dont want to go through eBay (I was ripped off over 250 $ from a seller in HK). Thanks~

No, Hasegawa doesn't make the later generation Evo's.

Pretty much, everything after the VII is only available from Fujimi, Tamiya made the VI road version and V, VI and VII rally versions.

Hasegawa made the Evo through the VI versions IIRC.

Why does everyone hate HLJ? Is it because you are Canadian? Ebay is chancy..yea...but at HLJ, you'll get your models in a few months time(if on backorder)

i managed to snag a hasegawa evo4 from hlj way way back, about 2 years ago. dunno if it's still in stock

I don't hate HLJ, its that they never carry the models I want.

So to clarify:

Hasegawa made Evolutions III, IV, V GSR

Tamiya made Evolution VI GSR, VI (Tommi Makinen)

Fujimi made Evolutions VII, VIII, IX GSR & MR

Now the question is where can I get Hasegawa and Tamiya models, In particular the Tommi edition without going through eBay ?

Most people want their kits in not a few months time; because most people want the kit to build, not to toss in the closet.

Are you looking for the special edition Tommi Makinen edition or the WRC version?

Also, Hasegawa made everything down to the Evo I.

I am Canadian and I absolutely LOVE HLJ. It usually only takes a couple weeks for me to get my stuff. I think the longest I've ever waited for something from HLJ is about a month, and that was because it was backordered.

Which specific versions are you looking for? Also are you after the road going versions or the rally versions? Might aide people to know what you are after and then they can point you in the right direction.

Place an ad in the classifieds for what you'd like to find. There are those that have these kits and may wish to sell them. I'm keeping my Hasegawa IV but there are more around perhaps.

[Emp3ror]

I'm looking particularly for:

Hasegawa Evolution IV, V, VI GSR (Non rally versions)
Tamiya VI Tommi Makinen Edition GSR (Non rally version)

HLJ doesn't carry the Hasegawa models any more and i'm struggling to find information regarding where to purchase them in North America.

Also, how is the Tamiya Evo VI compared to the Hasegawa Evol VI ? I'm starting to build my Hasegawa Evolution III and its just leaps and bounds better than the Fujimi one. I've never experienced a Tamiya build either.

Does anyone have more information pertaining to this model kit?

You're going to find it extremely hard to find a model kit which doesn't exist.

The model shown in the link is one which Steve modified himself to represent that version, there is no kit of it.

[Emp3ror]

Which kit is it based off of ? I e-mailed Hiroboy through the contact link on his website but it bounced back saying it failed.

I need bout 10 evo iv rally versions for a project i'm working on! The Hasegawa kits are proving impossible to get in northern ireland. can some-one point me to a supplier where i'd get that many?
