Jan_G Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 if it's real many people will be happy I'm sorry for any false expectations if it will turn out that it's not Tamiya KUROK, Stefano, Kagemusha and 4 others 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Well most people will love it or hate it. One thing is for sure it will most likely be the definitive 109 kit in 1/32. IF its true, i'll take a couple please. LSP_K2, Rick Griewski, Out2gtcha and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamF Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 It's not like Tamiya to do a 1:32 kit of a subject done to death. Graham 305 swag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 What says it's 1/32? And the FB link is someone in Taiwan. Dragon? Not sure I want to add any Gustavs to my Revell stash of four (complete with Brassin legs and Barracuda bits'n'bobs), but if it does turn out to be Tamiya I might succumb to one. Still have to catch up with their Spitties, which I know will turn my potmarked Revells into instant trash — but the Revell 109s may be quite sufficient.

Out2gtcha Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Very nice! Out of curiosity where did these pics surface? How was it determined that this was Tamiya or even 1/32nd at all? I still have a Has 109 in my stash to build, but not having any 109s built, but I'd take a Tamiya 109 in a heart beat! Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful69 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I know ZM have one in development in '32 ... How do we know this is Tamiya? ... or '32?? Rog Jan_G, Out2gtcha and adameliclem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rog Good questions. The fact that someone posted these on Tamiya’s magazine page shouldn’t be taken as proof that this is a Tamiya project. We’ll just have to wait for the answers.

Jan_G Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 I saw the rumour over on modelforum.cz not saying that it’s really Tamiya but one can dream at least Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) First of all, that is not the "Tamiya Model Magazine" FB page. Secondly, what you see in those pictures shares a suspicious amount of errors and shape inaccuracies with the Trumpeter kits. Just look at the engine bearer. I am quite familiar with the Tamiya 1/72 and 1/48 kits and I can tell you that what you see here has little in common with those Tamiya kits.

Radu Agreed... missing the undercut (teardrop shape) on the spinner for the propeller opening (I doubt Tamiya would miss that) and the alignment tab on the glycol tank looks suspiciously like the ones on the Trumpeter kits as well...I’m wrong more often than not though...

Radub Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I am 100% certain these are renderings of the Trumpeter kit. Radu Tony T, Royboy and Jan_G 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy with my Revells in this instance and still hope they might kit a G-2 or -4, although I'd rather see a Ju 88 C. Am not expecting anything new in 1/32 from Tamiya, though still dream of them doing 1/48 "Century Series over Japan" to supersede the ancient Revellogram kits.
