Hasegawa 1/48 YF-19 photo etch sets

[Reluctant Wanderer]

Hello!

This is my first post here. I have tried researching this info elsewhere. All the websites I have checked are out of stock, and my go to, Hobby Link Japan says they are in backorder.

Does anybody know if Hasegawa still produces the photo etch sets for their 1/48 YF-19 Excalibur kit?

Thanks,

They will eventually re-issue them frequently. I saw that happening at least two times now (could be more though), so you just have to wait. You can also check Jasmine Models photo etched sets if you are up for something fancy.

There are some re-sellers that sell the set for outrageous prices if you really want the original hasegawa ones.

I’m really glad to see that Jasmine is still in business making those PE sets. I have more VF-1 models in both 1/72 and 1/48 than I’ll ever be able to build, but I want to try out the Jasmine parts on at least a few of them.

Thank you for your response, and thank you for the welcome.

I did not know Jasmine had re released their photo etch for that model. I am very pleased that they did. I will wave to pick up sets for both my 1/48 and 1/72 YF-19s.

About how often does Hasegawa release this set?
