Hello I’m bigscaledave and thank you for letting me join this form. I have been away from modeling since my entrust in modeling was displaced by my entrust in girls. I have a question, how can I get replacement parts for my Hasegawa model aircraft kits? Again thanks for letting me join this forum, and a preemptive thanks for any answers you can give me for my problem with replacement parts. Dave
Welcome, and good luck. I needed one small clear part for a TF-104G and they said I would have to buy the complete clear sprue for $18 plus postage. The kit still sits on the shelf of doom. Sure can’t hurt to try though. I looked for the email I wrote to for this post but must have deleted it in my email, so no luck.

Send an email to them at the US side. Look up Hasegawa on the net and go from there. They sent me a different instruction sheet for a P51 and had to come from Japan. Don’t know on parts though.
I have had good luck calling 1-217-398-8970. I have even gotten parts for older kits.

I have used Hasegawa customer service once over the years. They are glacially slow, but eventually replaced my missing part. Good luck to you with them and welcome aboard!
I called the phone number and told them what I needed and it took a while but I got the replacement parts. In fact they sent me more than I asked for. So kg4kpg call 1-217-389-8970 about the parts you need for that TF-104G you have, and you might just get those parts, and be pleasantly surprised, I sure was "heck one more sprue tree and the clear parts tree and I’d have had a compleat model !
That is good to know…they are normally difficult. number saved…Thank you
$18 for one clear sprue? Prices really have gone up. I only paid $8 when I needed parts. No more Hasegawa for me.
