timvkampen Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Of course a Beaufighter would be great as well, but how about the P-38? That should be a good seller... SapperSix, CANicoll, Tnarg and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaninaustria Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 If Tamiya did a 32nd scale P-38 family I would go nuts!! timvkampen, reconspit and Joel_W 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reconspit Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 If Tamiya did a 32nd scale P-38 family I would go nuts!! ...yeah, me too, now that I nearly finished my P-38F conversion... Jack, timvkampen, Vandy 1 VX 4 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Southern Bandit Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 If Tamiya do another 1/32 twin it just has to be a P-38, the Beaufighter is interesting too, but not really as excited about it as many seem to be, but a P-38, oh yes please.

Tony T Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 The venerable Beaufighter attained only 59% of P-38 production but was used by a dozen air arms including America (as opposed to eleven nations' military that flew P-38s) and featured a far greater number of camouflage finishes. Of course, fewer Beaus featured nicely painted females, it was a challenging aircraft to fly and it shared some structure with the less attractive Beaufort; but was full of character, was crewed, and pioneered many new technologies. For me, propeller fighters should be tail-sitters. I'd definitely buy a Beau. However, a P-38 would prolly do very well. I am curious, however, as to why Trumpeter's offering never lasted very long. (Maybe it's seen a second run which I missed). Tony mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful69 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I thought this years Tamiya wishlist was already done??? Since I have the newish tooling of a P-38 (Trumpeter) in my stash, I'd rather new tool Beau, really. Rog mpk and Alburymodeler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David66 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'd definitely be up for a Tamiya 1/32nd P-38 Lightning, especially if they managed to produce an early (P-38 F/G/H) issue as well as a late (P-38J/L/M) issue ! Such a beautiful aircraft. mpk and Jolly Roger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have one and some AM for it, but its not without its faults and definitely not a Trumpy A team product. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rog Tamiya's wish list has been upgraded to a monthly thing now Rog You're probably right, have a Trumpy P-38 too and its not a terrible kit, but would prefer a Tamiya one and yes if Tamiya released a 1/32 Beau ... and even though it does not really spark my interest, would be excited, but anything new in this scale from Tamiya has that effect on me these days.

dsahling1 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Just out of curiosity, anyone have a line on Tamiya's next offering? Maybe a new modern tool F-15C or an Su-34 Fullback (I know it'll never happen but I can dream can't I?) mpk and David66 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
