Dear forum members and our friends; We would like to thank all members. Your feedbacks are very valuable for us and we will take all of them into consideration. Plus, I am happy to state that we think the same way on each topic. I don't wish to reveal the details of our special project right now. In the Wish List, 2 members mentioned this aircraft but these are exceptions and we can consider it as if never mentioned. If they accept, I would like to give this kit as a gift to them once we release it. We are planning to manufacture the projects we released (or will release) in different scales. Versions that are determined to be included in the box content of our F-4E Project #3304: F-4E Early & Late, F-4EJ, F-4E 2000 Kurnass, F-4E 2020 Terminator, F-4F, RF-4E, RF-4E TM, RF-4EJ (With all Inst. Panel, Seats, Antennas etc. details) Thank you again for you kind interest and support. Best regards, Baris TANSOY TANMODEL http://tanmodel.com/index_en.html http://www.facebook.com/tanmodel

Dear forum members and our friends; As you all know, we released our 1/48 RF-84F kit to foreign market on January and we received many positive feedback. First batch of our kit sold out in 20 days and new batch will be ready for distribution in about 45 days with minor corrections and changes. We've been preparing for 1/32 scale Northrop F-5A, F-5B and T-38 Talon (with sub-versions) for some time. We started detail stage on the design. Our RF-84F kit contained some surprises. Of course we are again preparing some surprises for 32 scale lovers that they never saw. But today, I am writing your for another reason…. We, being modelers, enable us to think like your. However, from F-5A project forward, we want to establish an infrastructure for other 1/32 scale projects we plan to actualize. We want to produce kits that your know what you will receive when you purchase a TANMODEL kit. Therefore, we would like to learn your ideas and comments. So what are these, what do we think, what do your think? What we offer to you when you purchase a TANMODEL kit: Scale and shape accuracy A kit design with reasonable number of parts that will get you to the result with ease Providing all possible versions in the same box Providing decal options of versions Providing operational ammunition parts (Bombs – Missiles etc.) Providing access doors part separately (like our RF-84F kit) – Not all doors Providing engine parts visible from inside the Intake and Nozzle Brief explanation and questions: For 2nd article: When your purchase 1/32 scale kit, does number of parts affect your decision to buy? Does it have to be 300+ parts? For 7th article: Does having engine parts with the kits affect your decision to buy? Are you willing to build the parts that will not be visible once you close the fuselage? If your answer is “Yesâ€, do you prefer engine parts (possible ones) or a kit that has all versions in the same box? For us, answers of these questions are obvious. But maybe we are wrong? In short, your opinions are very important for us and we will produce the kits in accordance with your answers. TANMODEL listens to your and will manufacture for your. We did not update our web site but versions that will be in the box for F-111 are determined. We will give A and E versions. We took this decision several months ago together with our modeler friends who supported us. The reason for A and E is production conditions. We wish to release F-111 project by the end of this year. We are preparing for 1/32 scale of an aircraft that was never mentioned in your request list. We think the reason your never taught about this aircraft is that there are several 1/48 scale kits of it. This project will be released before F-111 (and maybe before F-4E). Thank you in advance for your answers and suggestions. We will reply to your comments on Monday – we will arrange the box content according to your feedback. Best regards, Baris TANSOY Owner of TANMODEL

Hi everyone; From Arc and Britmodeller forums..... Dear Forum members ; Mould production of our RF-84F project is completed and we received the second test shots. Now, we will start to mass production after some minor adjustments. We hope our kit, that will have a realistic appearance with its detail lines and rivet details in different dimensions, is going to meet your expectations with its special part breakdown and its decal set with multiple options. The most detailed section of our kit is its camera bays. In addition to the camera bays consisted of 58 parts, we also offer cockpit, consisting 35 parts, and open-closed canopy options. TANMODEL, with a different application, provides the covers of camera bays closed on the fuselage. Thus, experienced modelers, who love details, can use these cover parts, which we provide separately, by cutting the camera bays along the guide line, if they wish to. We aimed to provide a kit that is easy to build and does not have any fit issues. Moreover, we applied a similar solution to the windshield. It has a design which allows smooth putty and sanding applications. The same also applies to the front camera part of the nose. When the part is joined to the fuselage, natural detail lines will be formed and no issues will be encountered during fixation. Only thing you need to is to mask of camera glass. We used the same design mentality as there lots of clear parts on the fuselage. For our future projects, we are planning to continue to manufacture model kits with designs having high-quality model engineering. Our priority is to release kits that meet your expectations. Please don't hesitate to contact us. We are open to all opinions and suggestions. Best regards, TANMODEL Baris, TANMODEL

Dear Friends; I would like to thank all forum members for your kind words and sincere approach. I will be happy to share any progress we achieve in our projects. Most of our projects are within your interested scale range. Thus, I believe I will be more active in your forum from now on Regards, Baris TANMODEL

Dear Forum members, Hi everyone, my name is Mr. Baris TANSOY, I'm owner of TANMODEL. I was waiting to complete the boxing of our 1/48 RF-84F and to progress more on 1/32 F-5A-F-5B and T-38 Talon family projects before meeting you. However, I opt not to wait any longer after a forum thread is opened for F-111. First, let's start with most frequently asked question: Yes, we will definitely realize our 1/32-scale F-111 project. We are discussing with a member of this forum about this project. He may disclose his name, if he wishes. At the same time, we are also in touch with a modeler from USA who is very knowledgeable about plane and a group of modelers from Australia. Our purpose is to offer you the best. You can ask us anything you wonder. My personal e-mail is written below (*). We would be very happy if you share your thoughts and suggestions that to support us in making better and more accurate models. Right now, our 1/32 F-5A Family, 1/32 F-4E Family and 1/72 Buccaneer projects are in progress. As TANMODEL release kits, I believe you will get to know more about us and our modeling philosophy.
