Posted by Rangatron on Tuesday, May 17, 2016 12:09 AM

Hello

 

What military model do you want Tamiya to produce next/ in the future?

 

Thank you

Tamiya please produce these models: TOG II*, Bob Semple Tank, Renault FT-17, Black Prince, 1/350 HMS Vanguard and more British stuff! If anyone works Tamiya or can pass this on, please do so!

All right, I'll humor you. I'd like to see a 1/72 scale VC-54C 'Sacred Cow' - the original "Air Force One." I've got one in 1/144 scale but we need to go big on this one.

Australian Sentinel Tank.  Dont think its ever been done in 1/35.  While only 65 were made, there were less than 80 Jagdtigers made and Tamiya covered that.

Hello

Thank you

Must it be Tamiya, specifically?  In any case:

  • A C-46, a Fieseler Fi-167 and a B-32 Dominator, all in 1/48.
  • Serenity, in injection-molded styrene.
  • USS Ranger (CV-4) in 1/700

Best regards,

I'l go with the M715 in both 1/35 and 1/24, M37 in 1/35, and some of the variants of it.

Second ikar's HH43 in 1/32 to go with the 1/32 Huey that is out.

Fixed wing would be an RF4C in 1/48 and 1/32

1/48 F2H Banshee 

Times infinity!  And since I multiplied it by infinity, nothing else can surpass this and Tamiya is now legally bound to produce a 1/48 scale Banshee.  I triple-dog dare them, too.

Eric

PS.  And would it kill ya to come out with a 1/48 scale FH Phantom as well?!?!

PPS.  Keep each kit around $20 while you're at it.

Don't know how I forgot about the Serenity, must be getting old.

As far as Pedro goes that kit came out from Hawk back in the late 60s and is pretty basic.  The front glass doesn't fit well, there's no jungle penetrator, the interior is almost non-existant, and there's several other things that need to be added.  It's a good thing Cobra came out with hte set for it.  It doesn't cover everything, but it certainly helps.

It would be nice to have a new one in the other scales.

The kits that I have the hardest time to find, are car kits.  I was wanting to build a new car.  The best I could do was a 2014 Mustang, which is now the old generation.  Where are the 2015's, 2016's?  Corvettes, Camaros,  Challengers, Chargers are all using the same bodies.  Change a few interior parts, new motor, rebox, and you have a 2016.  Aaah the olden days when you had to choose which kind to buy.

I would like to see an even bigger PT-22, 1:32!  Our local Commemorative Air Force has one that is beautiful, with the aluminum fuselage all polished. I do plan to do a 1:32 scratch version if no one does a kit before I start, but a kit would be nice, especially for that aircooled radial which sticks out there, real visible, and will be a bear to scratch.  I don't think that is available in a resin aftermarket item.

I'm praying for years for a new-tool P-36/H75 Hawk in 1/48. As I've already wrote somewhere, this is an aircraft deserves for a decent miniature! Hawk was a plane which took part on every war theatre and used by so many air forces, with different engine version, and with different undercarriage - what a great field for many kit versions, and with many decal options!

I wouldn't mind a Piper J3C-65, an Aeronca 7AC or a Beech Stagger Wing in either 1/32 or 1/24 scale (preferably in the latter scale). 

And a question - why can't the Revell 1/72 C-54 be converted into a VC-54C?  Every thing I've seen so far is that they made it as indistinguishable from from other C-54s as they could.  You would need to find out the markings (particularly the tail number) and determine exactly where to scribe the doors for the wheel chair lift.

Thinking helicopters:  1/48 AH-1G (Vietnam version), OH-6, OH-57A and D versions,  AH-56 Cheyenne, I'll second the Huskie,

Fixed wing:  1/48 Banshee and Phantom I, F9F Cougar, Korean War vintage Skyraider,

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the world needs a good, modern Curtiss JN-4 Jenny. Now that the old Lindberg 1/48 kit is gone, there is, so far as I can tell, NO styrene Jenny, in any scale, on the market. The only Jenny kit I know of is the 1/16 one from Model Airways, which looks superb if you happen to have (a) several hundred dollars to spare, and (b) room to put it.

My preference would be a Wingnut Wings kit on 1/32, but any Jenny would make me happy.

Think of the possibilities: WWI trainer, Canadian bush beater, barnstormer,.... 

Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.
