Greg B Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 49 minutes ago, is it windy yet? said: I think we will see a 1:48 F-4J, as they already have a Detail Up Parts decal sheet (12692), that have stencil decals included and referenced as specific to the F-4J. Parts in the existing F-4B kit also point towards an F-4N and a F-4C or D as well. Either way I would be happy, but Tamiya do their own thing!

SC2015 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Maybe another BF109, Spitfire or P-51 in 1/72. That would be a blast, wouldn´t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would sell better than anything on the new Airfix list. However making a better one than those available might be difficult. I could certainly approve of Tamiya replacing their Mk.I Spitfire moulds but they don't seem to work that way, do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They release a beautiful F-4B that's so well engineered it almost assembles itself, just as I was battling with my Academy build and now they're likely to release a J just as I'm battling to assemble even the cockpit on my ZM J kit.

The discussion in the meantime is quite often constructive analysis based on unused parts in recent releases. That's not wish-listing, it's using logic and intelligence.

Later the P-40 series in 32nd scale. Few more armour kits variations and one 1/24 new tool kit as well. That makes sense,I just bought the Meng F-18F What I would like is a 1/48 Ju87 G1 Edited January 10, 2023 by Tojo72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there is a modern tool around by anybody. I’m hoping Academy might release Accurate Miniatures’ one soon. After issuing every … single … variant … of … Dauntless it would be a nice change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo Raider Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Disappointed! Just saw a tamiya 2023 catalog flip thru video on youtube. No new 1/48th Airplanes!? I was really hoping for at least a new version F4. Hopefully there will be something at Nuremberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case Helldiver is just crying to be tooled by Tamiya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have a fear that they have decided to stop releasing 1/72 altogether. I really hope that's not the case. I’d speculate that 1:72 is becoming a problem for manufacturers. It used to be the case that 1:72 kits were much simpler, less detailed, less parts than 1:48 and therefore could be produced and sold more cheaply. But the new 1:72 kits (of all makes) have come on to such a degree that I doubt that there is much difference in the cost of producing a a completely new 1:72 compared with the the same aircraft in 1:48 (particularly for the smaller aircraft). But the public expects to pay significantly less for a 1:72 - so I think that manufacturers would prefer to go with 1:48. Just my thoughts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Just seen the new 1/35 Jagdpanzer IV/70(A) listed - the lesser known, boxier Alkett designed vehicle. Tamiya are certainly getting plenty of value from their Panzer IV chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can ship more kits of the same subject in 1/72 than in 1/48 however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
