Not heard of Hasegawa before. Will have to have look for these models👍. I have got a couple of Tamiya models to do first when I get the time. A Honda NSR500 and a 98 R1.

Only recently diversified into bikes slightly more expensive than Tamiya. Kits but far far more realistic I use Www.hlj.comHiroboy |

Tamiya is a bench mark kit maker. They make superb stuff. But if you want to really make a more exacting model Hasegawa and Aoshima are the ones. I made a 400/4 kit by Aoshima and the engine cooling fins are thin metal plates that you 'torque' down. Amazing kits. I really want the KH one but the price is a bit steep.

Alex you’re right tamiya for many years were really the only choice but aoshima, hasegawa and fujimi new bike kits have moved the ball park.
See they’ve just launched the H1 and tzr250.
2019 wonderland models were selling the cb400 and the gt380 at £20 or £25 a pop.
I’ll keeping my eyes peeled for you. 👍

Are they based in Japan? A few years ago I thought about buying and selling on the Pagani kit. Cost in Japan was about £25 with postage. On eBay here they were selling for £60ish. So I order one and with customs etc it worked out more expensive than buying one here!!
