Affection for a subject is not a guarantee of being a 'license to print money'. And repeatedly saying it won't turn a loser into something a manufacturer might take up. Normally, I’d agree but in the case of a new tool 32nd P-51K, it’s undoubtedly true. The demand for this kit is overwhelming. nmayhew and Shoggz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The demand for this kit is overwhelming. A P-51K is an aftermarket set or a mild conversion at best. I don't see why any manufacturer would bother with a dedicated kit. It's a vanity project.

It's not even necessary, you can build a K out of the "Pacific" boxing. I think there may some humour going on.

Tony T Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 The only K that matters is a McDonnell/Rolls-Royce Toom: F-4K No other K matters, not a bit, not ever.

ctayfor Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) So we are getting all exercised about what is essentially a non-event. It is a bit disappointing, but if Tamiya want to give ground to others, well, that's their decision and, as others have pointed out, it's not as if there's a lack of quality options. "Back in my day we had to take parts from the 6 kits put out by the two manufacturers to scratch build a Lancaster from three Spifires, a Mustang, a 109 and a Zero." Edit: This was intended to be light-heated commentary, but on looking back at it today, it looks a lot more "Grumpy Old Guy" than I intended. Sorry all.

I want a Buran strapped to the back of an AN-225, at which point I'd probably discard the Buran. I just want a 225 in 1/24 (or larger) scale. Mind you, I'd probably have to build a separate shed in the back to house it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
