KOG7777 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 As I've said many times before, Trumpeter (and HB) have some real gems in their lineup. The 1/32 SBD, TBM, Me262, and Swordfish are spectacular. Coincidentally (?) there are really, really nice 1/48 kits of all those types from other manufacturers. Coincidence? And then there's the rest of their lineup. Of which the less said, the better. I'll probably give in eventually and get the Trumpeter Avenger, Dauntless, Me262, and Swordfish. Not likely to see anyone else doing them any time soon. And for the same reason, I'll probably get the Hobbyboss Il-2 and P-61 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squizzy 78 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I know it won't happen, but I'd love to see a 1/32 SR-71 blackbird. Also, some modern jet, F-22, F-35. There's a chance the last two might be done by trumpeter, but not in any standard the Tamiya would produce. David66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It ain't 1/32, but Tanmodel is planning a 1/48 Blackbird... Even in 1:48 it's gigantic. This one appeared at our regional back in September. I'll stick with my 1:72 Hasegawa kit for now. Uilleann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I built Trumpys SU-30 many years ago and other than adding some AM for a super detailed build, I found it a great kit, and very fun to put together. reconspit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckschilling Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I have a suspicion Tamiya will build a modern jet. Perhaps a Eurofighter or F-35 or F-22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeyforgothispassword Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Now that they've broken the 1/32 twin prop ice, I'm going to take a punt that it will have 2 props, be from WW2, and be Japanese. Mix these together, and I'm thinking Dinah! Uncarina and Bravo52 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otis252 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I agree with Jennings. That being said, I wouldn't be totally shocked by a F-22. The other two, not gonna happen. F-16D or P-51B/C would be my guess. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Onacko Jr. Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 An F-22 would be way cool!!! MiG-29A/C/UB/SMT - So many countries fly this bird. A lot of options for colors and markings. MiG-25 - A big 'un!!! Yak-1/3/7/9 - I can't believe there isn't more love for this stuff??? A lot of options for colors and markings.

Shoggz Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'd love it to be a Hurricane.. Or a Sea Fury. World War II Hawker is underepresented in 1/32 injection, in my opinion! BarryWilliams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 With my luck, they will announce a B Phantom as soon as I'm done with my conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryWilliams Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) An IJN A5M5 on the level of the Spit and Mustangs already on the shelves they did a Zero was the first of their series of 1/32 WW2 warbirds and is an outstanding kit that set the standard for the rest of the series, I have built one and have another in the stash. They have produced two types, an early Pearl Harbour Zero and a later version. Edited November 23, 2015 by BarryWilliams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
