### ⭐⭐⭐ so I was expecting an easy build with this model
*by A***R on 20 May 2017*

This is my fifth Hasegawa kit in 1/48 scale and I've come to expect a high standard of fit and detail from the manufacturer, so I was expecting an easy build with this model. It's worth noting that the basis of this kit is used for two different versions of the Typhoon and the kit has been remarketed by Italeri so the this review applies to both Hasegawa and Italeri boxings. Initial impressions are good, the detail level is high (although not to the standard of Hasegawa's excellent 1/48 Ki-84) and the moulding is of a decent enough quality to ensure a tidy dry fit. Mostly. First thing you notice is the cutout of the fuselage to provision for either the teardrop canopy or the "car door" Mk 1a. It's a somewhat clunky solution as you'll discover when you built the kit and find that the cockpit section does not close together without a 0.5mm gap which requires careful filling. Moreover, although the wing snaps into place around the radiator cowling very neatly, there's a large gap between the upper wing halves and the fuselage, which is difficult to fill without losing detail. It's frustrating considering that every other Hasegawa kit I've built almost falls together straight out of the box. The kit comes with two decal options and the usual armament if that's your thing. There's no pilot figure, nor is there any photo etch or moulding for seatbelts etc. The instructions also let the side down somewhat, as you'll find when you assemble the cockpit frame and instrument panels, which need to be positioned at an angle to the dashboard, but this isn't clear from the instructions. It would also be helpful if the painting diagrams were printed at 1:1 scale for the kit, to allow you to create your own camouflage masking, as Tamiya seem to be doing of late. I need to make special mention of the seller who shipped this kit to me all the way from Japan and wrere never less than excellent. To summarise, this is a reasonably good kit which is compromised by some frustrating fit issues and mediocre instructions. You'll need more filler and patience than you'd normally expect with a Hasegawa kit, but the end result is worth the perseverance.
