German Armour Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hi all, since tamiya is almost at their 100th kit in their military miniatures, I'm wondering what they will bring out. There are only 3 kits left for them till 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 V2 and trailer to go with the Hanomag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German Armour Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Now that's going to be cool. Just saw it at track-link just a few minutes ago. Tamiya Plastic Model Co. - German Heavy Tractor SS-100 and 88mm Gun Flak (Hanomag) Are they going to make a new flak? Or rebox something? I don't know though.

Silver Fox Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I believe the 88 was an Italeri mould originally https://www.scalemates.com/kits/171969-tamiya-37009-german-88mm-gun-flak37 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasto Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 They could do worse to produce any modern ish soviet armour in 1/48. So day a T-54/55. Or a T-72 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Chieftain, Challenger. .anything modern is my hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 The 100th 1/35 Armor kit was a Tank Transporter. The 100th aircraft was the Storch with amazing moulding for the transparencies already joined to the fuselage. I think the entrails suggest that the 100th 1/48 kit will be a different time period, a big kit would break their price ceiling and I don't think they'e ready for that yet. That suggests Cold War to me and most likely a T-55 as they already do one. Chieftain, Centurion, and Challenger are beaten by other manufacturer's offerings so unlikely. I'd go for M48 or M60 then. Wild Card would be the WW1 Tank in 48th but without the motor and ideally a Mk V which had a lot of users including Japan and could be backdated easily enough. One thing we can be certain of? Whatever it is will be down to the mystic knowledge of Mr T and nothing much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only 1/48 Centurion's are the ancient Aurora and the resin Tank Workshop ones, unless I missed something? Can't remember the tree layoutson the T-34/Su-122, but a Su-85/Su-100 would be good too.

I was thinking that their 35th offerings have been overtaken by others and would be unlikely to be the 100th kit subject. However I'm thinking maybe a big kit could be it, better profit margin and could open the door to more as they did in 35th. @dnl42 maybe a Dragon Wagon, or a Diamond T, or the German half-track and trailer. 25pdr, limber and tractor???

Plasto Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 So a 1/48 V2 as mentioned would fit the transporter theme.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German Armour Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hehehehe, just 1 simple question and the calvery was called out, or was it bud and all his friends. Also they could do an M5 light tank, T40, M3 stuart late, and also canadian M5 without turrent, Ram II. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaddad Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 It'll be another Tiger,Panther or Sherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Belbin Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 A Cent' would actually be appropriate from a name point of view, but as has been said, that exists in resin from Tank Mania (not Workshop) as well as the old Aurora kit. The only Chieftains I'm aware of are the ASAM white metal and resin version, the ARII underscale version and, potentially, a Blitzkrieg Miniatures one. I believe the Scammell and Trailer is also an ASAM kit. Perhaps a Challenger would continue the modern Abrams and Japanese Type 10 Tank theme.
