EX_Birdgunner Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Would love to see a 1/48 F-14 from them. I can only dream... Rob +1 Would be a good response to Hobby Boss's growing F-14 line. Denis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jester292 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Who says it a new kit or product? Their site states "Stay tuned as we are excited to showcase the efforts of Tamiya America. " If it was a new release, I would think Tamiya Japan would be braking the news... That crossed my mind, too. You and I are not the only two to think about that. We're just having fun here. Let the people play a little. Cheers. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grey Ghost 531 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 TamiyaCon, I heard good things about that. Was that a west coast show? Aaron Yeah, Orange County CA, Mission Viejo area I think. That's where Tamiya USA headquarters is located. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'd like a 1/48 F4U-4/-4B Corsair to the same standard as the F4U-1 series. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pep Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Well since I abide by the laws of Mr. Murphy and I just got 2 Eduard mig-29's with more on the way... I bet the gods throw a Tamiya 1/48 Mig-29 into the world. I know for a fact it’s not a mig-25. How do I know this? Simple I sold my Revell Germany Mig-25 with Big ed and Neomega pit a couple of months back; and that would mean I made a good call... I never make good calls....so there’s no way it’s a Mig-25 (I hope it is thought!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I have inside information: It's going to be an announcement that they've finally succeeded in hiring the design team responsible for the F-100, F-105, and Lightning away from Trumpeter. To further the coup, they got Mr. "Needs More Rivets" Li to head the department and Mr. "Coke Bottles" Yu to head the research department. Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PhantomPhreakII Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 You have a soul? I don't... Harald ps and yes I'm curious as to what the announcement will be.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Personally, I think if it IS a new kit, it will be a 1/32 P-51B Mustang. Why? Because they have been coming fast and furious with anything Merlin engine powered. So they did the Spit 9 and 16, then the P-51D. So the B model is about all that is left for them to do, even if others have done it before. I do admit a 1/32 Hurricane would be nice, but it has an older Merlin and Tamiya can't just pop in the same one they used on the Mk IX Spit kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boman Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Possibly we finally will see a 1/48 F-16D :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jholt Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I figured it out! To continue their tie in line with 48 scale aircraft and armor to make dioramas it will feature a 2 seater F-16 and a Chevy 'Roach Coach' concession truck witch features 'Modern USAF Ground Crew At Rest'!

RRTRENT Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Its obviously going to be a 1/32 Raptor! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markiii Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Its obviously going to be a 1/32 Raptor! That would be cool, but I don't think it is a Raptor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 A nice F-4B/N would be a great kit since the only thing out there is the Hase kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Hope it isn't another R/C car F-4C/D in 1/48 would be nice I reported this months ago, but I was told by a very reliable source it is an F-4B?N. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Fook, I had my hopes ups until I ventured over to their website and noticed it could be a million different things, least of which I believe is going to anything in 1/48 aircraft plastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It could be more than one announcement, the person who told me the F-4B/N is tooled said it was delayed due to the disaster in Japan. They may be announcing TamiyaCon, the re-release of some of there paints in the US as well as a kit release. I hope they person who told me about the Phantom is correct. He is well connected in the Japanese/Chinese hobby industry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hornet78 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Scooby, I heard the same thing at the Nats 2 weeks ago. The B/N will kick off the "Family" with the C/D to follow. We'll see. Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
