Basuroy Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hobbyeasy has a preorder option for a 72nd scale G-6 . Did a cursory google search but couldn't find anything . That said , considering they downsized the Ki-61 , there is a good possibility they will downsize this as well. https://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/data/p0f8kx9m1urinqmo1dyg.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Callahan Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Can't say another 109 does much for me, but I'll take whatever I can get from Tamiya in 1:72! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasto Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 So a 1/72 Spitfire Mk1 in around 12 months then???? That will get the forum commentary juices flowing... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinBK Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 IftTamiya could do the same with their DO-335 and HE-162... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scaling down their 1/48 G4M1 "Betty" would be nice too! However, if Tamiya were going to do that they would have done so by now. Not sure about the 109 but I suspect it will sell very well - Tamiya+1/72 Bf 109=lots of sales! Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Another Bf109? Any excuse I can have to buy another... I already have 8 (only 2 are built) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the 1/48 Zero is there a single new tool 1/48 Tamiya WWII kit that hasn't been down-scaled to 1/72? We got the Zero, IL-2, Hien, now the Bf-109 to that's four for four. Odds are pretty good we'll get a spit in 1/72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Good afternoon I would prefer to see Tamiya downscaling the 1/48 P51B they did it for the D so why not ? and we miss a good 1/72 P 51B .. Cheers Patrice 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a huge need for new Spitfires Mk.I/II and Va/b/c, Griffon Spitfires, new Mustangs B and Allison Mustangs, A6M2-N, A6M2-K, A6M5 a/b and c and P-36 though. Although I would love to see Meterors Mk.1 and 3 too (together with Tamiya's Schwalbe and Salamander). But I will be happy if this new Gustav includes both rudders and canopies. And I hope, but (unfortunaterly) it rather unlikely, they will do Friedrich too (both -2 and -4). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickpeck Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I hope it is not the ITALERI kit since they rebox some of the Italeri kits. Sorry I don't want to sound like a negative Nelly but I was thinking of this . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeventySecond Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I don't think your fears will be realised as in the earlier post by Sturmovik, it confirms it is a new tool and this makes sense as Tamiya have more recently scaled down their newer 1/48 kits. Personally I am looking forward to it, as any new Tamiya 1/72 kit is welcome just to enjoy the fit, engineering and finesse of the tooling. I hope they continue to scale down in this way and my heart hopes for the F-14 to receive the same treatment, although my head says this is very unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverkite Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 twenty years from now on and they will probably release a BF-109F2, then maybe after one freaking hundred years later an F-16D and the downscale of theirs P&W F-16s Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/tamiya-60790-bf-109g-6--1188999 Where does Scalemates get their information from? Is this real? Anyone know anything at all about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 It was confirmed a couple of pages ago. I think It was concluded that Tamiya would downscale their 1:48 fighters to 1:72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Ah, my apologies. I stumbled across it by accident and assumed it was quite new, didn't browse back far enough to see otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
