F6F Hellcat, 109g-6 or a FW 190 D-9 would be amazing by Tamiya. When is the next big show in Japan where they would announce something?

 

Starts 11 May...

Addendum: those are the free public days. The trade element of Shizuoka starts earlier, so maybe we'll know what's new a few days earlier.

I'd sure settle for a F-16D, which can be done with 2 sprues and a P-51B. Just that simple.

Aside from my Huey fetish, I’ll table an F-86 or an F6F series.  Either should be within T’s comfort zone and in theory, should have pretty broad appeal, especially the -86.

I'd put Special Hobby at the top of that list.

Honestly, I’d expect that to be their next release before an all new tool kit.

I've heard their next 1/32 kit will be the Bf 109G, however no date as to release. Not at liberty to name source, but has proven reliable. We'll see.

I know you are kidding, but a Tamiya 1/32 Bf109F would have me in tears first, then my bank account would be hitting rock bottom etc etc

 

I agree.  The 109F is not one that has been offered much, especially in 1/32.  The Friedrich represented the 109 series at it's peak, too.

 

Cheers,

Exactly - the ultimate dogfighter (at least in the 109 series) and on top of that some awwwwwesome camo's for the F model.

 

Often difficult to find the Hasegawa F and the Trumpeter is not a F at all

I am not advocating for a 109G, but this is just what makes the most sense to me, especially when you look at the 1/48 kit and the timing of the 1/72 kit.  There is something about it, the pattern and the fact that they have not done a German WWII prop in 1/32 that makes me feel this is the one.

Make that a B/PR IV kit and I'll be very happy.

But happier still with either of these.  An FR 18 option in the XIV would be even better.  Don't want much, do I?

Way down on my wish list but I'd probably buy the damned thing just cause it's Tamiya and the quality would be mind-blowing.   That and the fact that there are thousands of interesting and colorful markings options available.   

 

I would just hope that they would include the "late" G-6 bits in this kit (Erla canopy, tall tail, tall tailwheel strut, etc) and not just do the earlier version and leave us hanging for a few years (or forever).  

 

I swore off 109's after my battle with the Revel G-6 but if T does this, I'll be all in.

Sounds like it will be a 109. An Fw190 might be nice but looks like ZM has it covered...How about a B24

Sigh, me too. But with  the value of the ZAR now, I probably wont afford it.
