Mr. Tamiya please ignore this and release an RF-8A and an RF-8G Photo Crusader. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Quote Furthermore, one of the announced items will be on display at the upcoming Orange County IPMS Orange Con model contest in Southern, California, taking place on October 2, which Tamiya America will be a part of. We will have this exciting new product on display for all local attendees to peek at. If anybody is in the Southern California area this weekend, OrangeCon is Sunday. Location: The Double Tree By Hilton (ex-Holiday Inn), 7000 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620 (Immediatly off the 91 Fwy at Beach Blvd.) I'll be several hundred miles north, visiting some Lodi CA wineries! 🍷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenko Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 The big disappointment will be because it's Tamiya it will be totally buildable, beautiful to look at and leaving you wanting more. There's no fun left anymore. Dick 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thompson Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 So the new releases everyone has awaited so eagerly are a 1/12 Ducati Superleggera V4 bike, a 1/35 A34 Comet tank, and a 1/24 Nissan Z sports coupe? No 1/72 P-38, or Yak-9/VK-105 series either? Dang... The bike looks pretty amazing, though! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IT_Man Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 https://www.tamiyausa.com/blog/new-product-announcement/ 18:30 PST. The Ducati, Comet, Nissan all announced previously. Indeed the Ducati available in the UK already. Picked one up for my neighbour. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Thompson Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Aha - my mistake! I should have hung in on those Japanese as a Second Language lessons. Or even the English as a First Language lessons. So there's still hope for the P-38, then? Or the Yak-9 series, around about the time climate change in Hell allows them to bid on the Winter Olympics?

Sturmovik Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) The new kit: an F-35A in 1:48. Link to Reddit: Edited September 30, 2022 by Sturmovik 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masinissa Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Warm cow's milk! It will be the best 1/48 F-35 out there and it's geared for the Japanese market. I might pick one up later . . . if the price is right 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamwriter Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Meh... there's at least one good news with this announcement. I won't be feeling guilty about spending a lot of money on a kit,as this one I will give it a hard pass. Boring subject, ugly aircraft and Italeri had just released one. Wasted opportunity to release one of a bunch of way more interesting subjects and much more in need of a new toolingAnother F-35...What a disappointment... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg B Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 That's what I like about Tamiya, consistency in always a slightly left field subject that manages to please some and disappoint others Interesting choice, not my normal sphere but I may bite with this one, because its Tamiya. I think we can close this soon as the actual threads discussing the known choices are spooling up or will shortly spool up. No more discussion on the F-35 please take it to the dedicated thread, it will just be deleted here, not moved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
