LSP_Mike Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 They have done iconic aircraft of WWII Britain, Japan and the US. Early and late of each as it were( except the B Mustang) A 109E and G6 would fit that niche nicely; an FW 190A8 and D9 would be icing on the cake. 109 and AlbertD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Howie Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Fokker DR-1...right up Tamiya’s alley both being Icons. With WW either gone or in hibernation who else better to do one of the most iconic aircraft in history. And we know Tamiya loves Icons..

vince14 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 The likelihood of Tamiya releasing a Fokker Dr.I - in any scale, let alone 1/32 - is somewhat similar to my chances of being the first man to walk on Mars. alanash1963, Peter Browne, Pup7309 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pup7309 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Now way Tamiya is going to release a Dr1, SPAD and re- release the w29! Actually CSM might do the SPAD... Edited April 26, 2020 by Pup7309 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pup7309 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Is this turning into a WNW speculation thread? Edited April 26, 2020 by Pup7309 Darren Howie and Peter Browne 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 My bets on a P38, a lot of the works already been done with the 1/48 scale one, and it seems to have been well received. Daywalker, JerseyChris, scvrobeson and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaninaustria Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Mr. Tamiyasan, please scale up the P-38 F to 1/32 scale! Cheers Alan MikeC, JerseyChris, Jan_G and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I figure they will come out with a 1/32nd FM-2. It will be announced a week after I finish the last part of my conversion set. You guys can thank me right after that. rjones726, D.B. Andrus, MikeC and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what where the odds of Tamiya doing a Dewoitine 520 or Sturmovik? You seem to forget Tamiya release what Tamiya want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Well, they are on a French kick right now, they just released a 1/35th Renault R35 tank, and they did a 520 in 1/48th. You never know! LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to forget Tamiya release what Tamiya want. Tamiya released their first plastic model kit in 1960, and as far as I can recall they've never kitted a pre-WWII aircraft in any scale. I haven't forgotten that Tamiya do indeed release what they want, but in sixty years they've never, ever shown any interest in WWI aircraft. Why would that change now?

A 109 would certainly be a good seller, and I love the 109 so I'm not going to join the 'oh-no-not-another-109' choir... but E and G are done well by others, but it is beyond me why the F is so badly represented in 32nd ?? Hasegawa's fine but rather old that is sometimes in production, sometimes not... Trump's F are not really F's anyway... If Tamiya did a 109F I think i'd shed a tear... and the go bankrupt... Overall - strange that we get a lot of rather exotic planes but some of the obvious are badly represented - Bf109F and P-51B springs to mind...
