Falconxlvi Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) Can't wait for Big T's F-14 announcement Sigh ...why does this trigger an emotional response every year? At least AMK is doing the Tomcat family. Edited May 11, 2016 by Falconxlvi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jinmmydel Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 The Tamiya F-14 thing is so tired...someone needs to lead it out to the pasture and put a couple rounds in its head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have not been this excited for a release to come out in a LONG Time so Tamiya can go suck it for all I care.

jinmmydel Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Tamiya is not remotely irrelevant. IF (and that's a huge if) they released a 1/48 Tomcat they could print money. It'd be just as good, or better, than anything anyone else could make. They don't produce much in that scale lately, but when they do it's not remotely "irrelevant."

fulcrum1 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Although Tamiya doesn't churn out kits like other companies when they do it seems to be the standard bearer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Although Tamiya doesn't churn out kits like other companies when they do it seems to be the standard bearer. Yeah who would have thought we needed a new P-47 but when they issued the kit it became the go to P-47 model in 1/48 and from what I heard the 1/72nd version is just as good. Lookig forward to what is announced at the show but to be honest I am not holding my breath to some earth shattering announcement. However, time will tell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Some new releases are missing from the HLJ news. Tamiya has a new 1/48 modern Japanese main battle tank and a 1/35 M10. http://s20.postimg.org/bd14tj1zh/12973603_827802157353264_3401139662916611857_o.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

andrew.deboer Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I'm just going to stand here out of the way where I won't get splattered by the exploding heads... Interesting intake trunking, and a nice wing box to keep things lined up. Underwhelming rear engine face, but it's gonna be waaaay inside the burner cans... 2016 is a great year!

Dmanton300 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I find it funnier that literally EVERY YEAR since 1992 people have been saying Tamiya would do a 48th Tomcat. 25 years later they do and people are like "told you so!" Now, about that B-17.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
