krow113 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 ...heard it on the grapevine, Tamiya is going to offer a new kit in their 1/32 scale range. I think it may be a Hurricane. Anyone else? is it windy yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinuheH Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hurricane would make sense, as they have all those nice RR Merlin sprues to use...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad64 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I would guess at an FW190. My reasoning is that they have so far released kits that they already did in 1/72 and 1/48. Also they would be able to do an A and D using common parts. Or maybe its just wishful thinking on my part. Steve Kahunaminor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowen Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Personally, I hope it is a Hurricane. I am totally tired of all the 109's and 190's, etc. Something new and different, please! -Ro SinuheH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hurri ,corsair , fw 190 seems to be the main interest/guessing hayaman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-M Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Don't think they can use the same series of Merlin from their Spitfire kits for a Hurricane, but I'd love it if they did do a Mk 1 Hurricane. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Buddee Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Don't think they can use the same series of Merlin from their Spitfire kits for a Hurricane, but I'd love it if they did do a Mk 1 Hurricane. Brad Have to agree Brad, the Merlin in the Mk IX Spitfire differed quite a bit in detail to that of the Hurricane. Tamiya would have to invest a lot of money to make the necessary changes and complete new tooling would probably be cheaper. Definitely will be interesting to see what they do come up with though.

Guest Dekenba Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 A Hurricane would be marvellous, but it's more likely to be a Corsair - the world needs a quality Corsair 1/32 kit. I'm going to plump for a.... Mosquito. Now that would be something special. Saber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrre Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'm pretty confident it'll be a Corsair. The Hurricane market is too small.But oh, a Mosquito ... that'd be something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryWilliams Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Why is the Hurricane market small? it is a icon of the Battle of Britain and the market would be no smaller than that for any other of the major WW2 fighters. A Corsair would be good too, but a decent Hurri, that is really needed. krow113 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 The Hurri market isnt small to me , I think a mainstream 1/32 like the Tamiyas to date would be a good seller. I have the excellent PCM kit already as well , limited run is scary to mainstream buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Paul Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 If it has to be a "new" kit, I would REALLY hope it's a new Corsair! Man a Quality F4U would sell as well as thier mustang for sure! Paul Daywalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lud13 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I must say anything Russian will be great news, La5/7 or Yak1/3/7/9... But i would like Hurri too but with early wings !!!! TimW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
