TEXANTOMCAT Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I suspect a 1/32 P-47 personally... TT 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMSLion Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 The other thing to remember about any speculation is that the Tamiya design team have not had the chance to leave Japan in nine or ten months. I would therefore expect the next armor subject to be based on their big Saumur research trip (meaning probably French), or Japanese. WRT aircraft, my gut keeps telling me 1/32 Fw-190...but I'm not sure if it's an A or D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petarvu Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Wasn't there a P-38 1/32 rumours few years back..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 1/48 F-14B would be my guess, very minor additional details/sprues required from their existing boxings. But since we're all adding a Wishlist, a 1/48 Eurofighter would be just splendid! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And adding to your Wishlist, both a single seater and a two seater. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back even more years, there was a rumor of a 1/32 F-100D Super Sabre. I was in my late teens or early twenties then ... and I'm 70 now. But if anyone could do an excellent 1/32 Super Sword, it would definitely be Tamiya. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Well, it wouldn't be a seismic event, but I'd settle for Tamiya shrinking down their new-tool 1/48 Spitfire Mk I to proper scale in the same way they did with their superb Bf 109G. Perhaps unlikely given they already have a 1/72 Spit Mk I in the line-up, but you never know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tojo72 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I really want a bare metal P-38 with invasion stripes,sorry don't know what version that is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I guarantee a state of the art, perfect in every way, easy to build, 1/32 early P-38 Lightning. How am I so sure? I have just acquired all the AM parts to do the 1/32 Trumpeter P-38J backdate to an E and am ready to start. Remember I have form. I had just cut plastic on a Revell 1/32 Mirage fuselage to backdate to a "C" from the "E" version when Italeri announced that very week their new mould. Similar story with the old Revell Mig-29 in 1/32. Got the updates just in time for the 1/32 Trumpeter kit. So you heard it here first - early p-38 in 1/32 - guaranteed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this would make a great fit in Tamiya's offerings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My heart races just thinking about it and judging by how well their 1/48 Tomcats have been received, a 1/32 offering would surely be just as welcome. And on a personal note, hope they start with the F-14B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine that one? It would surely include some canopy masks and photo etch, then all those after market detail up sets...... Mind you, I'd have to get a second mortgage to pay for it and the extras, and build a shed to display it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might have some balsa wood, dope and some talcum powder as well so you can keep it there in the spirit of 1960's conversions All is needed is a bit of modelling skills attached and a wonky set of spectacles and it will look great from far enough away. Its enjoyable to speculate (OOPS - pun alert there) but whats the odds its none of the above !!? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
