Mark P Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Jennings, I am of the opinion that the HK gear for the 48th scale B-17 as provided depicts the oleos in full extension. This makes the stance for the plane incorrect on the ground. I can't say the same for the 32nd scale kit as I dont have it. I welcome other opinions as I could be wrong.

aircommando130 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 The 1/32nd HK B-17 gear struts are to long. The oleos need to be shortened. Cheers...Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 And I believe the issue also applies to the 48th scale kit. Mark Proulx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Proulx You are quite correct, the main gear on the 1/48 kit is at full extension and does make it look rather like a ballerina on her tip-toes.

Just give me a nudge when you are ready (you have my email) with the amount and I will paypal you. Season's greetings! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince14 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 They've already announced the McLaren Senna, so I'm going to say it's not a 1/24 car. Might be a 1/20 F1 car, but I'd hazard a guess that it's going to be something R/C as that's the real money maker for Tamiya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonH Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Tamiya (not a speculation thread) Really? All we can do is speculate. My speculation is a Mercedes F1 car, maybe the 2020 model. I heard it from a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get excited when l see exactly what these items are, not before. Zzzzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Cloud Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Until proven wrong I'm gonna imagine a brand new 1/32 WWII plane. P-51B, P-47D or 109G-6, yes please! AlbertD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbk57 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Well if there is going to be a LSP, this is the time frame I would think it would come. They do their big announcements in the spring usually. They usually do a large size kit. I know they will have some new stuff that I will be happy about. However who knows if we get a new lsp or not. I could see it go either way but will be looking foreword to the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Proulx Does Eduards brass gear for the HK B-17 also have full extension on the oleo? My prediction is Tamiya announcing a 1/32 Hurricane.
