Anyone else here that? Its a rumor only. I have heard the delayed kit is Fw-190 in 1/32. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Matt Foley Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) I guess the F-4B is wishful thinking then. I heard this rumor from a friend who was at the Nats. I can probably guess we will not see the 1/32 F-16D this year either........ Edited October 13, 2022 by Mr Matt Foley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Thought this thread was about Tamiya's upcoming 1:48 F-35A kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Matt Foley Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 That's where I pre-ordered mine. Maybe he's holding my kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Niels Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Just put in my preorder with The48ers.com, so will be eagerly awaiting these 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So which is it? It says pre-order not in stock. They don’t have it yet. The small green “in stock” is to fool the shopping cart system to allow you to pre order the kit. The system only understands in stock or out of stock, and if the status is out of stock, you can’t put it in the cart. Andy typically gets an early copy of the production kit for review purposes. He only gets one. It’s not like he gets an early batch to sell. Edited October 15, 2022 by Dave Williams Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its not a review sample, it is the release sku. There is an embargo date thats all. most dont "use" it because it arrives after but to make sure its all released on the same day there is a date so those who manage to get theirs delivered before anyone else doesnt get the drop on everyone else, while others get theirs later than that date Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stalal Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Typical Tamiya quality. Nothing to add here. The only thing strange is that usually its a white box first. But this time they have released the final product. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Tamiya hasn't released that many white boxes, so nothing out of the ordinary as such. But nice video and presentation of the parts. Looking forward to receiving the kit when released, just put in my preorder yesterday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
