Two posts today. News first.
As promised I forwarded the results of our "The Japanese aircraft kit you'd die to see (re-)released" and....drum roll...drum roll...we got an answer from Hasegawa!

株式会社ハセガワの久保山と申します。
ARAWASIさまで行われましたアンケートの結果を拝見させていただきました。
多くの方の多くの希望が伝わってきました。
中にはかなりマニアックな機体もあり、皆様の知識の多さに驚きました。
ハセガワでは1/32零戦52型 1/72二式大型飛行艇と続けて大型キットを開発し
沢山の方に喜びのコメントをいただきました。
今後も大小問わず飛行機モデラーの皆様の期待に応えられるよう、
今回のアンケート結果も参考にさせていただきつつ、
新製品の開発を続けてまいりますので、今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。
(My name is Kuboyama of Hasegawa Corporation.
I was presented with the results of the questionnaire done by ARAWASI.
I was presented with the results of the questionnaire done by ARAWASI.
Many wishes from many people have been conveyed.
Among them were aircraft types only great (aviation) fans would know and I was surprised how knowledgeable everybody was.
We recently developed two large kits, the Zero Fighter Model 52 in 1/32 and the Type 2 flying boat "Emily" in 1/72 and many people sent us happy comments.
In Hasegawa, we will continue to develop new products, in order to meet the expectations, regardless of size, of all airplane modellers, taking ofcourse into account the results of this questionnaire.

We were asked how the winner will be decided. I think that by calculating the average of all the votes would be the most fare. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.
