Kagemusha Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 ZM are doing a Bf 109G-6, better that Tamiya finally get around to the early Harrier. thierry laurent and Tony T 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastterry Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Well I have all of the various marks of Hasegawa 109's, a couple of Revell's, a Dragon & some Eduard E's in 1/32 as well as all of the 1/24 Trumpeter 109's and I would buy a Tamiya 109 in a heart beat. If they designed the tooling right they could start off with an F and go from there. TRF misha71 and Thomas Lund 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastterry Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I forgot about Z-M but unfortunately by the time they get around to delivering the goods I might be too old to care, that probably goes for Tamiya as well.

Scale32 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 What about if Tamiya did an early or late production Nakajima type 11 Gekko (Irving) night fighter in 32nd........ now that would be excellent! Cheers Bevan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I quoted the right post - I said that Tamiya have never kitted a pre-WWII aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 They kitted the D.520 in 1/48th: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/tamiya-61048-dewoitine-d520--122416 Sturmovik is certainly WWII, 520 was a 1940 machine. So I guess I don’t understand your comment. You are right, though, I dont know of any WWI or inter-war models by Tamiya. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Tamiya 1/32 first generation Sea Harrier — oh boy would that be marvellous. Dreams can happen, sometimes.

As far as interwar you could only really claim a couple, the Spitfire MK I could be done as right before war really started and maybe the Swordfish is arguably a prewar design and existed prior to the start of WWII. Those are the only two I can think of that really have a shot at being pre WWII in their aircraft range. They have some WWI armor or at least one kit and a figure set. Some armor kits that were certainly in place prewar. Tamiya has not really been all that adventurous in their aircraft releases. Even when you look at their 1/48 and 1/72 catalog most are main stream subjects, lots of Mustangs, Zeros, and German aircraft in their. Mostly WWII with some post war.

Tony T Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Not sure I care anymore, at least until Tamiya announces something, then I might — or might not. Tony Kagemusha and cbk57 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the D.520 and Shturmovik entered service during WWII. Tamiya doesn't make kits of aircraft that were not in use either during or after World War 2.

oyoy5 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I would take a Bf 110G, was really hoping Dragon would just keep going with this line but not Loki g that way now. AlanG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otis252 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) How about them just doing the obvious, an F-16D. 1 new sprue and it's done and call in the Brinks trucks. Chuck Edited April 28, 2020 by otis252 Lothar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 The Dinah will be released in 1/32. LSP_Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonH Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I doubt Tamiya will release anything in 1/32 ever again. But, if they do, 80% of us will go "Yay, uuuuhhhhh" and realise it's not the kit we wanted and then we can have this (actually quite entertaining) debate again for a few years. They will buy the Lancaster designs and tooling from WNW and release the kits. How's that for a great idea? Alain Gadbois and Paul2660 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
