Stinger16 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) How about something Russian, I would really like to see some Russian jets. I would really be cool to see a Tamiya su-27 or any of the later sukhoi jet family Jeff Edited January 20, 2016 by Stinger16 Tony T and kalashnikov-47 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urs Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) IMHO the Mossie release had the biggest Impact on the market - even bigger than with the Runstang or Hog. I would really like to see the Bristol Beaufighter (would also fit to their 1/48 relase policy). Except the old Revell kit there ist None. Tamiya would break down open doors with a Beaufighter.

Tony T Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'd love a Tamiya 1/32 Beaufighter. Now that would truly be kit of the year, or decade. It's also a realistic option for the future. I'd also seriously love some second generation Russian jets like the Fishbed, Fishpot/Maiden and Flagon, but realise such is wholly unrealistic. Our best bet is Trumpeter, but I digress. Still reckon a Mk.IV or NF.II Mossie for this year and a Wildcat, Hellcat or Jug for 2017. Assuming Tamiya still is in this groove.

Out2gtcha Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I guess Ive never really given the Hellcat its possible due as in regard to an eventual new Tamiya release. It had by far and away the most kills in the PTO which would satisfy the guys who like to build with combat history, and seems like there are no fully accurate kits in 32nd as currently a kit bash with Trumpy wings, and a Has fuse is the way to go. I still say Its going to be a Jug (hopefully razorback!) but I would certainly take a Tamiya F6F!

do335b6 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 1/32 Gekko would be cool but a 1/32 J35 Drakken or J37 Viggen would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Still hoping Revell will see sense and do a Saab J.35. Licence to print Krona, € and £ - and even a few $ of various denominations Tony Christoffer Lindelav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andromeda673 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 a 1/32 BF 109 would be cool, but more then likely some other variant of Corsair. Face it, no matter what they release, someone will be pissed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssculptor Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) I have strong evidence that it is this I want to see one built for a Sumo wrestler! :rofl: Edited March 27, 2016 by ssculptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssculptor Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I have it on serious revelation (my Ouija board) that it will be either the 1/32 Kate or Val. If it is the Kate it will have the wood attachments to the torpedo that allows it to swim in the shallow water of Pearl Harbor. It it is the Val it will feature the 14" battleship canon shells with the adapters that were used to make them into bombs as were used at Pearl Harbor. Will that happen? Naw, you have to have guts to come out with models like that and expect them to sell them in the USA. Yes, they will sell to dedicated model builders (like us). But not to the general public who are looking for a nice birthday gift for their grandson, Biff Barnstable, who spends his time playing electronic games while stoned out of his head. Of course, if Tamiya would include a swastika to slap on the tail then it would sell like hotcakes. I have spoken! David66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 The Val and Kate are being produced in 1/32 scale by Silver Wings, a highly regarded resin model kit manufacturer. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunwinglow Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Not sure how the good people of Barnstaple, Devon, are going to take that.... http://www.barnstaple.co.uk/ Tim ssculptor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 The Val and Kate are being produced in 1/32 scale by Silver Wings, a highly regarded resin model kit manufacturer. Tony That is true. However, the prices commanded by these resin kits is well beyond the means of many modelers and still others that just won't spend that kind of money on any model. Tamiya won't do these as they're too esoteric to be of much value. If Hasegawa were to do the D3A and the B5N, I think their approach to model kits would suit these aircraft very well and yet still be priced reasonably low enough to include a greater proportion of those modelers detailed above. ssculptor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Stephen isn't averse to resin or whittling wood by all accounts. I don't own a single Silver Wings kit, but have heard great things about their models. Agree about Hasegawa though, after they've done a Type 32 Zero, new tool Hayabusa and maybe a Suisen and Seiran - though Tamiya might be a better bet for the latter two, in the fulness of time. Am looking forward to the comparison of the new tool Hasegawa Zero, due next month, with the existing Tamiya counterparts (albeit different subvariants). I will just watch and learn.
