Not having seen the source he was referring to I can't vouch for how accurate that is but I would love a Tamiya Ki 61 if the rumor is true. I read the same over at Britmodeler.

thierry laurent Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I think we should stop hoping for a major 1/32 release in 2019...

Most of the time, getting a new tool LSP from Tamiya is like looking for love.................it ONLY seems to happen when you are really not looking for it. Id say we might want to start the new-tool-Tamiya-LSP-wish-list talk up again in 2020, as I feel that may be the next time we see one.

timvkampen Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 I know, Brian is right of course... Still such a shame, such a brilliant company is not issuing more great planes... JerseyChris and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbk57 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 i see on HyperScale’s Brett Green has posted a video feature on the BF-109G-6 located in Australia. He pointed out the photos were taken back around 2012. So it is not really something new. It gives me that feeling of maybe someone has an idea of something coming soon. Probably bunk conspiracy theory on my part but thought I would post for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Williams Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Honestly, it wouldn’t bother me if Tamiya never made another 1/32 kit. I’d miss not getting the glass nosed Mossie or two-seat F-16, but companies like Z-M have taken over for them in my book, especially for WW2 stuff.

Thunderbolt Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I don’t understand the economics of injected molded plastic. Why has Tamiya not already produced a 262 or P-47 in their fantastic quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why has Tamiya not already produced a 262 or P-47 in their fantastic quality? I often wonder about this too. Read somewhere that the average Tamiya customer is a 40-year old Japanese male. Maybe just different interests or possibly due to much smaller living spaces, 32nd planes take up too much real estate in the home?? Sad, no one does LSP’s better....

Has all the past 1/32 stuff been announced at Shizuoka ? Don't know, just wondering. We could be shocked and surprised ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
