One 48 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 There was a recent announcement for a 1/12 Car, actually looks quite good if you like that sort of thing I suppose. But this time I feel its bound to be an Aircraft, probably a 1/48 or 1/32 one, as well as other stuff too is hinted at? My desire would be for a 1/48 B-17. but since HK Models are on that, this would be unlikely, perhaps a new tool 1/48 Lanc, yup HK have announced one as well, but if Tamiya had one in development for a few years, then now would be the time to tell us. If 1/32 ... and with the demise of WNW, Tamiya are the only real players I contemplate for this larger Aircraft scale now due to the sheer quality and engineering and just sheer pleasurable building experience they give (Did buy the new Italeri Tornado GR4 though) So, if it is a 1/32 Aircraft, wonder what it could be? A German WW2 fighter would be incredible and sell by the bucket loads, despite the multitude of other kit manufacturers 109's and 190's, would love a Hurricane or even P-38, maybe its a glass nose Mosquito, that would be welcome too. 2020 has been a grim year, hopefully Tamiya's new announcement will bring some scale modelling joy to us on 25th Jan 2021.

Scooby Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I hope it is an aircraft. I’d be happy with a 1/32 Hurricane or 1/32 F4U-5! I didn’t know HK announced a 1/48 Lancaster, I thought it was only a rumor and not an announcement. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kopperhed Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 My dream would be a 48 Mitsubishi G3M to go along with thier 48 G4M. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 They produced an excellent F-14A and F-14D in 1/48 and put all previous Tomcats in that scale on the back burner. Perhaps a 1/48 F-111 series or 1/48 Vigilante series? (Yes, I'm into jets.) One more 1/48 hopeful: B-58 Hustler! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg B Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 1:48 A-10 would be my guess. Not much competition out there in regards to accuracy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenko Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 On Track 48 they have the box art for the next 1/48 AFV. It's a T-35-85 Russian Tank. (Number 99in the range). Hope number 100 will be something special. Dick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stilwell Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Personally, I'm hoping they release a Ki 84 in 1:72 scale. Given their history of down-scaling their 1:48 kits. Jonathan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger331 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Still waiting for a F-14B variant of the Tomcat. IMHO some of the best schemes were those applied to the F-14B variant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Tamiya seem to be tooling up all the main fighters from WW2 in 1:48 at the moment, so I wonder if we might see an A6M2 or Hurricane next in 1:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
