The more I think about it, the more I think if Tamiya does a Saturday announcement it is something that is a priority for the home market, not that it would not be populate everywhere but I think it is something for the Japanese market.

somebody Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 My guess is curbside 1/12 redbull F1 with special Japanese GP livery.....even though Japanese GP didn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they drop a Saturday announcement I would expect this is something that is super special to them if not to us as 1/32 plane enthusiasts. A separate dripped in announcement is not going to be just another armor or 1/24 car kit. To me to merit the approach you are contemplating this would have to be a important 1/350 ship, 1/12 car, or 1/32 plane. I do not know what else they would anounce that they would segregate in such a manner. However it was announced there were going to be two all new tool kits. The wording “new tool” was specifically used which does not suggest RC. For Tamiya to break out an announcement in this manner would mean they need to announce an Iconic subject that is definitive and a show stopper. 1/32 P-51B, 1/12 Porsche Turbo, 1/350 (I just do not know what to put here akin to Missouri, Bismarck, Enterprise, Hood) I should have said “rumoured” second release, sorry, my error. I’m a big fan of your idea that a 1/12th scale Porsche might be in the mix (I know, it’s just fantasy) but I’d love it if they released a 918 GT4, almost as much as I’d love them to re release the 1/12th scale Caterham series!

Don't be sorry, there have been statements of two releases. I was only saying that it is really unusual for Tamiya to proceed this way and I don't know that they ever have before. The Porsche is a fantasy on my part but their 934 is so tanitilizngly close to being the base of a street version that they should do it.

The one with the radial engine or the one with the inline engine? The dive-bomber or the night fighter? Perhaps the single-seat kamikaze bomber?

cbk57 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Sorry to rain on the parade but the show releases are out and there is no Tamiya 1/32. In fact the only plane release is the F-35 in 1/48. That was the only all new kit I have seen from Tamiya at the show. I have reviewed several videos in japanese from the show to see the show booths and that looks like all there is. I don't see any 1/32 kit announcement from any manufacturer at the show from what i can tell. Edited October 2, 2022 by cbk57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's disconcerting and disappointing. just can't get all giddy over the F35 no matter what scale but that's me. Better luck next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonH Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I am really hoping that the decals are very thick. Sand down the RAM panels, add thick decals and voila… the first kit to feature scale appropriate RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 There was a facelook post showing some sort of car that's new this year, but to me, it's just utterly boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second release hasn’t been announced yet, a Tamiya USA Rep at OrangeCon stated the second release will be announced later in the year. No word why they delayed it. I bet it is the 1/48 F-4C/D and they want to release it at a US venue. cbk57 and scvrobeson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
