cbk57 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Right now it looks like Tamiya is pretty interested in the modern 1/48 jet market. F-14, F-4, F-35. There is a lot of room for them to bring some F-4 variants to market. I just am not feeling it on them doing anything in 1/32 of any kind at the moment. But lets see. I am not worried personally as I have plenty to work on. CRAZY IVAN5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY IVAN5 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 7 hours ago, Pup7309 said: My uneducated guess- another variation of what they have already put out recently in 1/48 - so Phantom a-z. That’s aircraft any other subject no idea but similar isea. Their next aircraft kit ? Maybe an 1/48 F- 18 but really just a wild guess. They could bring out a p-38 but people have suggested the Mozzie wasn’t a success so would a p- 38 be ? I've yet to see anything from Tamiya that the Mossi wasn't a success but then again they play their hands pretty close . Yes a P-38 would work I believe it's a different time now what with $800 1/32 scale Lancasters . Alain Gadbois, John1 and Paul in Napier 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Just bring back the Thunderbirds F-16 in regular grey styrene to make earlier blocks or better still mix both F-16 kits in to an Aggressor boxing like the 1/48 kit. firefly7, scvrobeson and Daywalker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The 2023 Tamiya catalogue shows a 1/32 Tornado GR.4, which is almost certainly the Italeri kit. No second 1/48 F-4 yet, so my wallet's safe. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlamoSnep Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Tamiya would make a killing if they made a 1/48 RF-4EJ or F-4EJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the 2024 wish list now as the 2023 Tamiya catalogue shows a 1/32 Tornado GR.4 — the Italeri kit with some added pilot figures. My eyes have turned to China.

My eyes have turned to China. Tony The catalog is not reflective of Tamiya new releases coming out in 2023. Now I don't expect a LSP but the Catalog only reflects what is on sale at retailers at time of publication so is actually backward looking.

ScoobyDoo Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 On 1/6/2023 at 8:06 AM, CShanne said: At least there is some hope, Tamiya did say static model aircraft on their Facebook page. Probably not the F6F, FW-190, or P-47 I want but it is some hope anyway. I expect hopes to be dashed with some 1/48 aircraft, but the dream remains for now. Where did they say static model aircraft? I only see static model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it was another multi-engine aircraft in 1/32, except this time it is one that will sell, a 1/32 Twin Otter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough I started scratch building a 1/32 Twin Otter a few years ago. I got most of the fuselage done but lost interest…hey a squirrel!

Tony I’ll have to check the rule book- I don’t think Italieri re boots count so we are probably still doing a 2023 wish list for the Guiness records MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
