Posters there are reacting to P-40 images “mysteriously” placed in a recent Tamiya newsletter. Ahh... I just read it. Interesting choice if it turns out to be true, just hope it’s in 32nd.

Dpgsbody55 2,244 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 If Tamiya do release a P-40 (E???), I can see one or two of them finding their way into my stash Digits crossed they do reveal of new LSP, anyway, P-40 or not. Cheers, Michael Link to post Share on other sites
Smokeyforgothispassword 111 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Well, only a couple of hours now until Tamiya make some people ecstatic, a lot of people pretty happy, and a hell of a lot of people disappointed that they didn’t release the kit that the wanted, or if they did it’s the wrong version. Personally, unless they release a 1/32 scale Fairy Gannet AS.1 I’ll be inconsolable Gazzas and LSP_K2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Smokeyforgothispassword 111 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Thanks for the offer but I’m sure that some of the handful of pills I’m forced to take daily already cover me for that Edited January 25 by Smokeyforgothispassword My grammar bot failed LSP_K2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BloorwestSiR 11,972 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Well, it's a 1/48 F-4B. Scroll down to see it. https://www.tamiya.com/japan/featuredreleases_early2021.html Fanes, Derek B and LSP_K2 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Smokeyforgothispassword 111 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Well, probably time to stock up on 1/32 scale Prozac, there’s nothing in that scale, but the 1/48th F4-B should be popular, and I’ll be all over the 1/24 240z !.

BloorwestSiR 11,972 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 The 240Z looks cool too. Although not in that announcement Tamiya USA separately had the Egress buggy as being reissued. I may have to consider one to go with my original Avante. Carl Link to post Share on other sites
fastterry 220 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Another kit in the AUD$170 range, along with the F-14 and ZM F-4E Kai. Cost as much as an LSP. I have the Academy kit, that will do me in this scale. TRF Link to post Share on other sites

From what being said around the traps, the Phantoms going to run to a similar price, and as I have no more organs to spare, I think I’ll have to give this one a miss.

Derek B 4,545 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Well, it's not 1/32 scale, however, it is a new Tamiya kit (in 1/48 scale) of a much needed aircraft type! https://www.tamiya.com/japan/featuredreleases_early2021.html (I just noticed that carl had already mentioned this - apologies for the double post).

Pup7309 667 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Ho hum Well it seems they are scaling down 1/32 stuff rather than the other way round. What’s their next aircraft kit? Good luck guessing that Link to post Share on other sites
