ringleheim Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 It's a nice thought, but Tamiya does what Tamiya wants to do, and they seemingly live in their own little bubble. Have to remember that scale model kits like a 1/32 F-14 are way down the pecking list of importance for Tamiya too. I would imagine the R/C side of the business as well as "supplies" (paint, glue, thinner, putty, tools) are massively more important to their bottom line. Will Tamiya make a new 1/32 F-14? Maybe! Maybe not! They'll decide, not the modeler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Yup, RC is supposed to be their big money maker and it just might be that funds allocated for plastic scalemodel kits is done so on an alternating basis of venue and scale. Our requests for more and more accuracy and details just escalates the cost of production: seems you can’t have one without the other Peter Edited July 11, 2018 by Peterpools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timvkampen Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Still, this subject: the Tomcat is a money maker I would say. And again, upscaling is a start and then furthering it should not be too costly at all. In no time they make a profit on this baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom2 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Yes Sir, I would buy a new Big Cat in a heartbeat, but Tamiya can do 3 or 4 new kits in 1/48, pure economics. But, Tamiya works in mysterious ways, so it´s not impossible... Stefan Edited July 11, 2018 by Phantom2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
