I think this makes a lot of sense, Tamiya is clearly committed to plastic models. We see consistent releases across the major areas cars, motorcycles, tanks, planes. At the same time 1/32 is at the upper end of the airplane range so a slower approach also makes sense. I would be worried if we saw tamiya do one plastic kit and a bunch of RC. But we saw a lot of great new plastic releases at this show, including three major car releases, 1 motorcycle, two new tank kits, and 1 new lsp variant, along with a 1/48 variant in the 109E3. I think the E3 will be a decal sheet only though and no new parts. To me this is a healthy Tamiya releasing a diverse selection of plastic kits. Which I think makes for a bright future in which we can be optimistic about getting a all new LSP. It may not be this year though.

Out2gtcha Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 This release gives me real hope..................... 9 years after its release Tamiya is releasing another P-51 model. Granted its not too dissimilar from the original, but still, a new version. This gives me hope for other versions of models of theirs that most assumed would never materialize TAG, LSP_K2 and Christoffer Lindelav 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) So, the only parts from the Pacific Mustang kit appears to be the weapons sprue with the 110 gallon tanks, bombs, and bazooka tubes. The sprues with the Aeroproducts prop and cameras, VLR antennas and DF loops, and the clear sprue with the camera ports are NOT included. Discussion of the kit starts at 7:30 in the video and sprue showing at about 8:20. The unique parts from the Pacific Mustang D/K kit for reference. You only get the second sprue from the left, and it looks like the rockets are attached to that sprue. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10199450/30/5 So, no recon parts.

I've had them help with replacing a lost part and they were excellent but are they just as willing to sell you specific sprues? I have never purchased any spruces from Tamiya directly - but look on ebay - as people sell different spruces for different models and I have bought a full spruce for a few models at a very reasonable price... Hope this helps, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeC Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Well it's getting nearer: Hannants have it on their site for back-order, no date yet so could be next week, could be December, could be any time ... https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/TA60328 As for price, I'm guessing on a par with, or slightly more than, the Pacific boxing, but that's only speculation on my part.
