MikeC Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Just spotted the following on Hannants' homepage " TAMIYA NEW ITEM LAUNCH Tamiya will release the information regarding New Items at 8am on Feb 2nd (Wednesday). https://tamiyaannouncements.com/ " [Edit: Just to reassure anyone who (like me) is a bit suspicious of such links, there is a link to this page on Tamiya's homepage too. " NEWS & UPDATES Keep your eyes peeled... Something new is coming - click here!! " https://www.tamiya.com/english/e-home.htm ] I wonder if we'll see any LSPs? Let the speculation begin in 3 ... 2... 1... Go! Edited January 31, 2022 by MikeC Trak-Tor and BarryWilliams 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryWilliams Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 OK I will start. A 1/32 P47 or Beaufighter…….. MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebody Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 perhaps 1/20 redbull f1 car? scvrobeson, monthebiff, kalashnikov-47 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis7423 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Maybe we'll see the elusive 2-seat F-16, or the bomber Mosquito. If they're going to tool anything new, they will likely use existing sprues (like they did with the Merlin in the Spitfire and Mustang) and tool something that uses the R-2800 from the Corsair kit. The obvious choice is a P47 (because they have one in the other scales), and the other would be an F6F. I don't foresee that, because they don't have one in their lineup. Maybe they'll treat us and do a Ki-43. But others are probably right... a 1/20 Red Bull F1 car. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 If I had to go with the odds, honestly Id go with some sort of R/C car. Rick Griewski, Uncarina, D.B. Andrus and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npb748r Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I think there's better odds on it being new double extra extra extra thin cement and a new size tape dispenser than a new 1/32 aircraft unfortunately.

Gary Needham Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I would be delighted with a 32 scale P-47 but ecstatic with a 1/32 F-86 Sabre ! Gary The Dude, Daniel Leduc, LSP_K2 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndersN Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Nightfighter Mosquito. New nose, new props and a few cockpit parts and there it is. Martinnfb, IainM and MikeC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Didn’t the last time we had a Tamiya big announcement, it was some armor kit? I’m not hopeful, but I guess we’ll see in a couple of days. kalashnikov-47 and MikeC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadBaron Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Last time they had a big announcement that everyone got all excited for, the kit turned out to be a McLaren Senna in 1/24, and everyone got all sad because it wasn't what they hoped for. With THAT in mind, it's time to break out the popcorn... J.C., MikeC and Martinnfb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the TRX420 coming out but they announced it last week. https://tamiyablog.com/2022/01/tamiya-trx420x-world-premiere-special-details-of-the-new-chassis-introduction-of-available-optional-parts-of-astute-2022-and-tamiya-rc-history-28/ These limited edition RC car kits that Tamiya releases are very collectible. I think that's the only reason the come out some time. You rarely see anyone actually race one. Catl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 2 hours ago, somebody said: perhaps 1/20 redbull f1 car? Well, it does have a Honda motor in it and is the last year for Honda's participation in F1. Speaking of Honda and F1, Beemax is coming out with a 1/12 Lotus 99T shortly.
