Eagle, Cobra and Celica

Presenting three types of vehicles models and all of them are excellent. 

Hasegawa Hobby Kits presents a trio of new limited Edition plastic model kits: two by air, one by land.

All three feature super precise modeling and details, are easy to assemble by following the directions and come with accurate and minute decals.

Parts pop out easily from the part trees and have no or minimal flashing. Assembling the parts is made easier by the fact that each part fits perfectly one to another and look practically seamless.

First up is 1/72 Scale F-15E Strike Eagle Ace Combat Garuda 1 fighter jet with its twin pilot cockpit, twin jet engines, twin tailfins and enough armament and weapons to make any foe think twice.

The featured aircraft in the flight simulator Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation," the F-15E Strike Eagle is flown by the lead character "Talisman."

Emmerican Air Forces Garuda Team's pilot Talisman and his wingman Shamrock fly and fight to save Emmeria from the evil Estovakian Air Force.

Fly and fight they do with the aircraft's impressive Sniper XR, missiles, tactical tracking and lock on capabilities and extended flight capabilities with dump tanks. 

This baby can be displayed with landing gear up or down, dressed to kill and packed with so much detail it's a wonder Hasegawa could pack it all on one aircraft!

If vertical take off and landing, hovering and packing plenty of firepower is more to your liking then the 1/72 Scale  AH-1F Cobra Israeli Air Force Combo (2 kits) Helicopter is the aircraft for you!

Like its namesake the Cobra strikes hard and fast.  Packed with enough firepower to sink its fangs into the most formidable of foes the Cobra gets into places most aircraft shy away from.

Whether flying solo or supporting ground troops the twin pilot cockpit, booster assisted Cobra loves to flash its weapons: rockets, cannon and missiles. 

It must be working because the Cobra has kept Israel's borders safe for over 30 years.

The world really starting taking notice of Toyota's car line in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Small but reliable, Toyota cars boasted great gas mileage, tight assembly and low maintenance.

One of the stalwarts of the Toyota line was the 1970 Toyota Celica 1600GT.

The 1/24 Scale Production Type Steel Wheel model kit shows off the Celica to its best advantage. 
The two-door, sport coupe looks solid sitting on its steel wheels yet appears to be in motion mainly due to its hood mounted rear view mirrors.  Chrome fenders and window strips, hood vents, rear window details and twin side strip details that decorate its yellow body add to the refinement of the automobile. 

As with all Hasegawa hobby Kits automobile model kits look for full interior details, precise undercarriage details, including the exhaust system, and all the other refinements make this a model maker's dream come true.
