Hi, I’m Tony Hodun, and this is one of five tables of Hasegawa 1/48 kit listings I’ve developed to aid you as a modeler or collector in finding the right kit to build the version you want, to fill the gaps in your collection, or to find the parts you need.  This page covers Jet Aircraft and Helicopters, Part 1, and covers the most modern US fighter types and also the F-4 Phantom II.  See the U.S./British WW II Aircraft Page for a more complete explanation of these tables.  If you have input, please contact me at hodunmisinec@cinci.rr.com .  Enjoy, and happy modeling/collecting!

 

Note:  These tables are based on the actual parts in the kit, not the instructions sheets!  Hasegawa sometimes includes older instructions in newer kit boxings, but newer revisions of parts trees, so the two don’t always match! 

Note: The starred tree letters (e.g. D*) are my own way of differentiating between trees where Hasegawa re-uses the same letter for two different sets of parts, modifies or updates parts, or adds/deletes an optional part; the star will not be found on the actual parts tree.  The lower case tree letters (e.g., the different A-4 or F-104 fuselage trees) typically have an extra tab with the subletter on the parts tree.

 

I want to especially thank David W. Aungst for his awesome contributions, as he willingly took the time to provide a huge amount of the data below, including much of the original parts tree information.  He paved the way for me and for others to build on this table, so thank him if you were helped by this table.

 

Another huge contributor I want to especially thank is Greg Feiser; his web pages on the F-16 include detailed information on the F-16 Fighting Falcon and on scale models in every scale, and his Hasegawa 1/48 pages provided much additional information for the improved F-16 kits section of my tables!  You can also use his notes to modify and correct these kits to build more accurate F-16 versions. Check out his site at:  http://www.habu2.net/vipers

 

My thanks to my repeat contributors James Arguello, Christian Blachford, Stefan Buysse, Jason Cheah, Kev Chenney, Jim Dick, Julien Dixon, Björn Dol, Mike Franklin, Carsten Götze, John Macklin, Andy Mullen, Ken Pawlowski, Rafael Rodriguez, Greg Scoumis, Marko Trnski, Mike Vorrasi, Martin van Wyk, and Ron Young, and also to Juan Ansari, Jose Barata, Andreas Beck, Jim Bonanni, Neils Christian Boman, Thomas Brown, Hans Datema, Fernando Jose Diaz de Sousa, Gary Edwards, Art Johnsons, Chris Kerns, Ray Lloyd, Marc de Niverville, Jim Obermeyer, Bosse Persson, Ray (no last name provided), Rafael Rodriguez, Kevin Seniuk, John Smith, Kevin Smythers, Dan Suria, Joe Taylor, and Woody Yeung for their helpful input!

 

NOTE: August 2006 - The first two sections of these tables is still under major reconstruction.  I have uncovered a great deal more complexity in the F-14 and F-4 kit families.  I need a lot of help on some of the older kits that were tabulated before the newer information came to light.

 

Bold typeface in the Table of Kit Boxings in this section only means the kit is newly entered in the table, or the parts tree numbers for older entries have been confirmed.  Conversely, bold typeface in the Parts Tree Descriptions are the parts trees that still need to be defined/confirmed

Some notes on the parts trees:

 

85 of the parts on F and G are identical, only parts F1-F6 and G1-G6 differ.

 

The D and E trees are unique in that they can be produced in multiple arrangements. Seven arrangements have been confirmed to date.  Note that later parts have often been installed on earlier Tomcat airframes, so if you want to build a specific Tomcat at a certain date, use your references and then use the table to find the kit you need, or you can sometimes hunt down extra parts left over from another person’s completed build.

 

F-14As:

07018, 07019, 07069, 51513, and 51582 are similar and build any F-14A from BuNo 159421 through 162711 with later tails. Only early issues of 07018 and 07019 come with the original fuselage tooling.  Need help confirming which versions of parts trees are included in 07069 and 51582.   

09388 is based on 07018/07019 but comes with the earlier tails.

09577 is based on 07018/07019 but comes with the later forward gun gas vent panel.  09516 is similar to 09577 but also includes late intake chine leading edges and engine rings, GE engined aft fuselage side extensions (not used), later gun gas extraction vent panel, and AAM launch rails and a pylon adapter. 51622 is similar to 09577, but only has late intake chine leading edges and engine rings, and includes whitemetal bomb shackles and two of tree A from Weapons Set A (X48-1) which provide 500/1000/2000 lb “dumb” bombs. 

07020 is the only kit that builds an earlier Block F-14A as built (prior to BuNo 159421, except for the first 12 pre-production aircraft), D* tree includes earliest beaver tail and gun gas purge vents, early instrument panels, and early vertical tails. 

09329 is similar to the 07018/07019 etc. family, also includes resin LANTIRN pod and BOL missile rails, white metal bomb shackles, and four of tree B from Weapons Set B (X48-2), which provide LGBs. Need help confirming which versions of parts trees are included in 09329.

 

F-14A+/B (the A+ was later redesignated B):

07023 and 51508 are identical, and include GE engine exhausts and other parts to build the F-14A Plus only. 09502 is similar and builds the F-14B.  09639 is similar to 09502 and also includes a pair of BOL rails and an AN/AAQ-14 pylon.  Need help confirming which versions of parts trees are included in 07023 and 51508. 

 

F-14D:

07212 comes with the necessary parts to build the later F-14D and will also build an F-14A+/B. Similar 09374 also includes two BOL launch rails.  Similar 09703 also includes BOL launch rails and a pylon for a LANTIRN pod.  51544 is based on 07023/51508 with the addition of F-14D parts, so can also build an F-14A+/F-14B or F-14D.  09309 is based on 51544 with white metal bomb shackles and two of tree A from Weapons Set A (X48-1) which provide 500/1000/2000 lb “dumb” bombs.  51512 is similar (but not identical) to 07023/51508, it does only the prototype “Super Tomcat”, has both types of intake chine leading edges but only the early gun-gas purge vents, and includes an instrumentation boom for the nose.  Need help confirming which versions of parts trees are included in 51544.

 

NEED INFO: Complete kits 07080, 07085, 09335, 09357, 09677, 09683, 09687, 09691, 09697, 09719, 09757, 09776, 09786, 09797, 09814, 09851.

Need some parts trees 07023, 07069, 09329, 51508, 51544.

I find this to be the most complicated 1/48 Hasegawa kit family of them all, as there have been so many new trees added and so many old trees modified over its history.  Over time some of the earlier tooling was changed to engraved, some times parts have been added to trees, some trees have had parts added, some times only some of the parts on a tree are revised.  The more recent the kit issue the more likely you’ll get the latest tooling. This is even true of early and late basic kit numbers, not just the special issues. If the box is open, you may want to check for engraved versus raised panel lines on the F-4J kits. The F-4C/D and F-4B/N kits still only come with raised panel lines as of 2006.  Most recently, the RF-4 family was added, building on previous tooling by adding nine new parts trees (trees N, Q, T, U, V*, W, X, Y, and Z). This section is definitely still a work in progress!

Some generalizations that may help:

Earlier kits had raised panel lines on fuselage, wings, and horizontal tails (F-4B/N, F-4J, F-4C/D from the start). The A tree is the appropriate fuselage (B/N, C/D, or J); later engraved fuselages are found on tree J, N, or S.

Later kits have fuselage, wings, and horizontal tails with engraved panel lines, and these are on parts trees with new letters (F-4E, F-4EJ/KAI, F-4F, F-4G, F-4S from the start).  Improved engraved F-4J kits have been issued.  No engraved F-4C/D or F-4B/N tooling has been issued yet.

Panel lines on cockpit and landing gear trees match the larger parts (raised early, engraved later).

In all kits to date though, the E tree (external fuel tanks), F tree (multi part canopy/clear parts), and G or H trees (weapons, pylons, and on earlier kits, raised panel line horizontal tails) are always raised scribing.

Engraved panel line wings have evolved; early P002, P003, P004, and P007 had basic engraved wings, wings on all later kits have added naval details (must remove for non-naval versions) and inserts where catapult bridle hooks are located.

Early kits had multipiece clear canopy parts. Later kits, starting with 07200 series, included an additional one piece clear canopy for those who preferred to close the hoods. Newer kits seem to revert back to the multipiece canopy only.

Bottom line: the raised panel kits build up as nicely as the engraved ones, don’t be put off by this.

 

F-4C/D Raised: P6 builds an F-4C/D with raised panel lines; 07106 and 09790 are identical but also include an F-15 style fuel tank. 

 

F-4B/N Raised: 1207 and P5 build an F-4B/N with raised panel lines, may have early or later multi-piece canopy clear parts tree.  07105, 09662, and 09787 are identical and come with the later multi-piece canopy clear parts tree.  07210 is identical to 07105 and also includes a one-piece canopy.  09581 is identical, also includes raised panel line unslotted horizontal tails.

 

F-4J Raised: P1 and identical 1216 build an F-4J with raised panel lines.  51002 and 51004 are the same as P1 with the addition of etched cockpit/canopy parts, white metal landing gear and wheels, vinyl tires, and vinyl wire.

 

F-4J Engraved: 07101 builds an F-4J with engraved panel lines.  A recent boxing of 07101 includes later reised parts trees.  51029 is based on 07101, also includes all the same super detail parts as 51002.  Need help confirming which versions of parts trees are included in these two kits.  07206 includes modified D and E trees with corrected/engraved parts, wings and clear tree have added details, also includes a one-piece canopy.  09509, 09596, 09632, and 09727 are similar to 07206, have multipiece canopy only.  09403 is similar to 07206, has multipiece canopy only, and includes resin afterburner nozzles.  09353 is similar to 07206, has multipiece canopy only, includes a different undernose IR fairing. 09709 and 09778 are similar to 07206 without the one piece canopy, except they include the D tree as modified for the F-4S kits, as does the latest reboxing of 07101.  Need help confirming which versions of parts trees are included in 09353.  ADD 09392 once resolved.

 

F-4S Engraved: 51010 was the first F-4S issue, is similar to 07101, but includes slatted wings instead of non-slatted, and also etched parts for cockpit/canopies and for lower wing reinforcement plates, plus white metal landing gear and wheels, vinyl tires, and vinyl wire.  A number of parts on the D and E trees were modified to be correct for the F-4J/S, and the added clear details were also included in 51010.  09376, 09586, 09762, and 09807 have identical plastic to 51010 except they do not include white metal landing gear and wheels, vinyl tires, or vinyl wire.  07077 is similar to these last two, but also includes a one piece canopy.

 

F-4E Engraved: P3 builds an F-4E with raised panel lines and all trees are the most basic original versions.  07103 includes slatted wings, the newer clear tree and also include an F-15 style fuel tank.  09566 comes with unslatted wings with naval details, engraved panel line slotted horizontal tails, the multi piece canopy tree includes the added clear details, also comes with F-15 style drop tank and a metal IDF F-4 fixed IFR probe.

07208 comes with slatted wings with naval details, engraved panel line slotted horizontal tails, the multi piece canopy tree includes the added clear details, also comes with F-15 style drop tank and a one piece clear canopy. 09805 is identical and also includes a resin dorsal fairing.  09448 is identical except it does not include the one-piece canopy.

PM 5978 comes with unslatted wings (no naval details), raised panel line slotted horizontal tails, the multi piece canopy tree includes the added clear details, also comes with the one piece canopy. This kit is curiously identical to the recent “non- KAI” F-4EJ kit issues (with a one piece canopy thrown in).  09361 and identical 09398 are almost identical to PM 5978, but include the newer clear multi-piece canopy tree.

 

F-4F Engraved:

P7 is based on F-4E P3 but curiously comes with raised panel line horizontal tails. 09386 and RG 04522 include engraved fuselage, nose, and slatted wing with additional naval details, additional clear details, but still come with raised panel line unslotted horizontal tails.  09714 and 09734 are similar to these two but have the wing that does not include the additional naval details.

 

F-4G Engraved: P4 is based on F-4E P3 with slatted wings (later kits’ wings have the added details) but has an F-4G nose instead, modified fuselage (tail antenna housing) and includes a new tree with weapons (AGM-45 and AGM-78) and correct rear instrument panel.  07104 and 09672 are identical to P4 but also include an F-15 style fuel tank.  07209 is similar to 07104 and also includes a one-piece canopy.

 

F-4EJ Engraved: F-4EJ 07002 is based on F-4E P3, but have different (raised panel line) slotted horizontal tails, has engraved non-slatted wings, and lack AIM-9s/pylons, has all early trees except the revised clear parts tree; 07002X is identical.  51517 may be identical, or may include some of the newer trees.  Need help confirming which versions of parts trees are included in kit 51517.  09617 and 09622 include engraved fuselage, nose, and non-slatted wing w/naval details, added clear details, but have raised panel line slotted horizontal tails. These latter kits are identical to the Pro Modeler F-4E, thus you can build an earlier F-4E with the parts included.

 

F-4EJ/KAI Engraved:  F-4EJ KAI 07061 is based on 07002 with a new HUD, modified fuselage, an F-15 style fuel tank, and modified non-slatted wings with naval details.  Need help confirming which versions of parts trees are included.

51604, 09380 and 09556 are based on the P003 F-4E, include revised wings and fuselage with KAI version RWRs, revised clear tree with HUD, and F-15 style centerline drop tank. 07207 is identical but does it include a one-piece canopy? ...need help confirming this.

 

Recce F-4s Engraved:  Hasegawa is finally producing recon Rhinos!

RF-4B:  07231 and identical 09652 have both early and later noses and later bulged wings, so only build one of the last 12 USMC RF-4Bs.  I’m told the early F-4B/N wing mates up with the fuselage nicely (thank you, Ken!), so a kitbash may be feasible to build the earlier Marine recce Rhinos.

RF-4C:  09557 builds the RF-4C with either the original or later camera nose, 09629 includes only the original camera nose. 

 RF-4E:  07230 and identical 09574 build the JASDF RF-4E with later rounded camera nose only.  09612 and 09621 are almost identical to these, but lack the F-15 style centerline drop tank.  09590 builds a Luftwaffe RF-4E with early stepped camera nose only.  09685 is similar to 09590, also includes the later lower nose and a metal IDF style refueling probe.  Unique 09537 builds an RF-4EJ KAI, which is a JASDF F-4EJ upgraded to carry various centerline recce pods; the kit is identical to 09380/09556 minus the F-15 drop tank, and includes parts to build any of the three sensor pods used.

 

F-4s NEED INFO: Complete kits: 1210, 1211 (both are Minicraft boxings), 07204, 07211, 09328, 09338, 09383, 09641, 09665, 51029.

The British Phantom II was equipped with Rolls Royce Spey engines, which were physically bigger than the J79 and required a bigger fuselage.  Nose cone, wings, and other areas also differed.  These kits actually only “share” a few parts trees with J79 powered Rhinos (trees D, E, and F, and each has some modifications form the original tree), so are a subfamily unto themselves.  All include white metal wheels and vinyl tires, except the Revell Germany boxing, and all have engraved panel lines.  I have added the ‘plus’ to the tree letters to indicate they are unique to British Phantoms; it is not on the parts trees.

Hasegawa’s F-15s are the most detailed in this scale, but there is more (or less) to the “Strike Eagle” versions than meets the eye. (Note: FYI, the Revell 1/48 F-15E kits build an accurate Strike Eagle).

Original fuselage tree is A, the later A* version includes 4 added F-15J/DJ details. Newer kits or newer issues of older numbers sometimes have the A* tree, instructions may still show the older A tree.

Original C tree includes a pair of AIM-9 Sidewinders.  Later C was converted to Ca, the same tree with the subletter added on a tab; this differentiates it from the Cb version, which was modified further to include a pair of JASDF AAM-3s instead of the AIM-9s.  The JASDF F-15Js (and possibly DJs) are both AIM-9 and AAM-3 capable. Each Eagle kit has a pair of either tree C, Ca, or Cb.

 

Original Single Seaters:  07009 and 07010 are identical and include parts to build either a single seat F-15C or JASDF F-15J with AIM-9 Sidewinders.  51001 is the same plastic as 07009/07010 but also includes cast white metal landing gear, a large set of photoetched parts, clear HUD, and featherless exhaust nozzles. 51011 is based on 51001 but also includes an ASAT missile and unique pylon. 

 

Newer Single Seaters:  07079 and 07084 are almost identical to the original C and J kits, include AIM-9s, come with the newer fuselage tree.   09340, 09471, 09492, and 09591 come with newer fuselage tree, AIM-9s, and also include featherless exhaust nozzles and full set of etched parts and clear HUD; 09808 is the same without the clear sheet for the later HUD.  09420 is identical to these last plus includes a nose instrument probe, instructions show how to backdate the speed brake.  07205 is similar to 07079 but comes with Japanese AAM-3 missiles.  09449 is similar to 07205, also include featherless exhaust nozzles and full set of etched parts and clear HUD. 

 

Original Two Seaters: 07011 includes parts to build either a two seat F-15D or JASDF F-15DJ with AIM-9s.  51610 is based on 07011 but also includes featherless exhaust nozzles, clear HUD, and etched parts.

 

Newer Two Seaters:  09367 has newer fuselage tree, is otherwise identical to 07011, instructions show how to backdate the speed brake to the original smaller size.  09451, 09620, and 09832 are based on 09367 but also include featherless exhaust nozzles and full set of etched parts and clear HUD.

 

“Strike” Eagles: These are based on the original two-seater kit.  07008 is not quite what it seems to be. The kit is based on 07011 F-15D, and includes early FAST packs (which don’t have production stub pylons), six correct F-15 MERs and a slew of Mk 20 Rockeye bombs. It has the large production speed brake of the F-15D, and some other differences, so it really doesn’t build an accurate F-15 Strike Eagle demonstrator or production F-15E Strike Eagle, even if it does fit well and look good when complete. And note that 07021 and 07022 are basically kit 07008 with featherless exhaust nozzles, photoetch, and LANTIRN pods added, so the same comments apply.  Unfortunately, these kits will only accurately build an F-15D or DJ (one of the reasons I got into this kit table business!). 

 

NEED INFO: 07064, 07081, 09312, 09850; some parts trees 09355, 51703.
