Looking For: Hasegawa Super Detail Up Kit (40071)

[Victrix]

Hello fellow modelers,

I was curious if any folks have recommendations on searching for hard-to-find or discontinued products that are largely sold out in hobby stores, aside from constant monitoring of big name vendors like eBay, Amazon, etc.

The Super Detail Up kit (40071) for Hasegawa's 1/350 Akagi seems to be the holy grail that every vendor doesn't have in stock. I have all the other detail up PE kits (A, B, C), but am really hoping to find this last item before I begin my build. Alternatively, does anyone have a contact that may be in possession of this kit and/or willing to sell? I appreciate any guidance and hope I can share my progress with you all once I'm under way.

Cheers,
Bill

Hi Bill

I got mine through 1999.jp as I have other hard to find Japanese kits

Kind Regards

Nigel, thanks for sharing that info. I also look for unusual kit’s based on my particular interest at the time so this is a great source.

Thanks for the recommendations, everyone! Since my initial post I've identified a seller in Japan and am working out the details for purchase/shipping. If I'm successful I'll provide a follow-up post sharing the good news!
