ScoobyDoo Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Someone I know in the industry confirmed it will be released in 2015. He said it was the worst kept secret in the hobby.I posted the same about the Corsair and was correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michel borderline Beekveld Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I predicted the release of the P61 Black Widow. But it took some mild violence to get it done. MBB Kagemusha, Derek B and KAGNEW 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful69 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) And I'm predicting the Second Coming will happen before we get a '32 Do17 ... I Hope Tamiya DOES do a Mossie!! But I'll be happy with a HK one ... Nice quality kits and anything would be better than the Revell old tool Rog Edited June 12, 2014 by Artful69 Vandy 1 VX 4 and Jolly Roger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 The vibes are right for this. And Tamiya would create the kit of the Century (so far) Z-M have no real internals to mess about with, and HKM are developing a simplistic approach which is inappropriate to this De Havilland subject, although welcomed. The vibes are right. And even if it fetched £200 on the general market there would be takers - including myself if it was inclusive as an OOB experience.

kalashnikov-47 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Next Tamiya 1/32 aircraft kit will be an Antonov An-2. Alburymodeler, paul fisher and BGB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I'd rather see a Beaufighter than a Mossie. BGB and Little Andi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatzelwurm109 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 How 'bout a Beaufighter AND a Mosquito! They would score big points with me if they would "pull a Fujimi" by putting parts for several different Mks in the same box... for what the kit is going to cost, it would be nice to have a few different variants possible OOB.

geedubelyer Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 It certainly would be something to see. We can only hope and keep our fingers crossed that your source is correct. I think a glass nosed version would be my prefered choice. Here's hoping. Jolly Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 as asked before, do we know what versions HKM are intending? given that is the 'definite', that is the one I am interested in Tamiya Mossie would undoubtedly be superb, but I cannot see it myself Jennings, are you able to tell us what Mossie HKM will do (first)? thanks N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jozef Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I would love to see a jet coming from Tam again, but I am saving pennies for any of their release. Jozef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggz Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 A Tamiya Mossie would be fantastic.... Probably my second choice of new model from them after a Hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dekenba Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Seems utterly incredible that two companies are making a 1/32 Mossie when there are so many alternatives out there begging to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyDoo Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Not to take anything away from your source, but just about everybody on the planet predicted the Corsair. I know I did back in 2010 or so. And honestly, if I had a nickel for every "Tamiya is *definitely* doing a..." post I'd read since I first got online in 1992, I'd be retired now. HK's Mossie will be out before that. There were a lot of surprised people when the Corsair was released. I didn't predict the Corsair, I knew it was being produced. As well, they didn't measure the Corsair in 2010. It was after that date. So your "prediction" was just a guess. I know my past threads can be searched and they are not edited. I announced the Corsair before it was officially announced. At least six months in advance. BGB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
