Now this is some news !!!

It would be the first time Tamiya makes their own mould of "modern" subjects, something to keep an eye on.

Eagle fans would be delighted, as there could be the chance of having a proper F-15E with tamiya quality.

And all the Tomcat fans will be happy too, as a Tomcat with the quality we associate with Tamiya could be the start of a new era. Looking forward to know more about these !

It still could be only reboxed kits from Italeri.

Hi,

It seems the Cat is a reboxed Italeri one : http://www.scalemates.com/products/product.php?id=158460

Nothing on the Mudhen yet.

Cheers,

They're both Italeri reissues.

Not sure I'd really describe the Tomcat as excellent

I'd describe the Italeri Tomcat as quite poor.. and that's being kind.

Very disappointing, I was hoping for these 2 from Tamiya... guess it's back to the Hasegawa tomcat. Not that there's much to complain about these, apart from the price

I'm building the Fujimi F-14A and that's quite impressive! Agreed though, really need a good F-15!
