Growler Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 What Tamiya needs to do with it's next 1/32 Magnum Opus kit, is a P-40 with AVG markings as an option. I would be a buyer for sure! Jolly Roger, MikeC, David66 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andromeda673 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'm pulling for a P51B variant, or a BF 109. But agreed that P40B would be a winner for sure Growler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Close... You got the aircraft manufacturer correct, but add another engine and about 3 times the size, and you'll be dead on correct. .....starting with Com......and ending with Mando??......

dsahling1 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 If Tamiya releases a 1/32 Su-34 Fullback in exquisite detail I'll donate one of my kidneys to somebody David66, Zero77, Growler and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otis252 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 So Jennings, let's look at it the other way. If Tamiya tooled a new fuselage from the windscreen to the tail surfaces, wing and clear parts, we got a P-51B? It'd be a license to print money.

Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Close... You got the aircraft manufacturer correct, but add another engine and about 3 times the size, and you'll be dead on correct. P-38 Same engine but size is off. But you know men and comparing size Cheers Growler, BiggTim and David66 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andromeda673 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 We really really really need a P-51B variant. And if Tamiya won't do it, then Dragon, or Kitty Hawk or Eduard or Hasegawa should get after it. It makes no sense to me, everyone and their brother has been screaming for one for what seems like forever and a day. I'm sure you would be able to break even and or surpass whatever your tooling and mfg. costs are in one year or less. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows, but it would be nice to get a new tooled kit.

LSP_K2 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 A P-51B/C or P-40 getting the Tamiya treatment would be awesome news. I think I'd prefer to see the Mustang first though. MikeC, Growler, andromeda673 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urs Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Tamiya will surely follow their 1/48 release politics. IMHO the release of a F4F-4 Wildcat or a P-51B would be plausible. Early new generation 1/48 releases were: (and l expect same release order in 1/32) P-51B Spitfire l Spitfire Vb Dewoitine D.520( which l would prefer in 1/32) F-4F-4Wildcat( which l would prefer in 1/32) Bf109E Fw190A-3 FW190F-8 Totalize, andromeda673 and David66 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Pulling for a Hawker Hurricane Mk Ia. Of course we have a long way to go, as he next release should be a variant of the Mosquito relapsed this year. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Okay, my 2 cents worth (all 1/32 of course and not really in any order of preference): F6F-3/5 Hellcat, F4U-1D Corsair, P-47D razorback, P-51B/C Mustang and Hurricane Mk.I/II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Apologies for straying, but Urs reminded me of something. I just found this languishing in my stash last night. To see this from Tamiya in 1:32 would be great, but I certainly won't hold my breath.

williamj Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 No no no! Tamiya will do an F-86 Sabre. wait for it. Zero77, wrbrdmech and andromeda673 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbk57 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I could see a F-86 and think it would do well. To me it is a given that they should do a P-51B, a P-40B or an F6-F. I think they have a sense now these are big hits if they pick the right subject. I think they will pick a subject that they know will do well. There are so many kits they can do that are a guaranteed hit, I think it is going to be a long time before they stray to far in the 1/32 relm. They can be more daring in 1/48 and 1/35 as these are not such big investments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
