Peterpools Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 With the Toy Fair now under way, except for RC cars and trucks and more cars and trucks, I can't find any show reports at all. Has anyone found some accurate news on new releases? 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 The only new aircraft release I saw for Tamiya is a 1/72 F-35A. Other than that, there's some new car kits, several re-released and the aforementioned RC cars.   2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Thanks Carl I thought so and for military modelers, that's pretty meek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Apparently also a Panzer VI 70A…….. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 So strange that Tamiya isn't planning on any new aircraft releases in 48th scale and of course none in 32nd scale this year. I'm hoping it's one of the years where they are just holding back the actual announcement.  🤞 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Ironically a number of retailers over here have received new stocks of Tamiya’s ancient 1/48 Lancasters in all variants. …….one thing did make me laugh, the new 2023 Tamiya catalog is yours for £16.99 over $20……..I think I’ll pass….. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Those ideas are probably from recent MBA graduates they hired.  They just don’t get how cheap us old farts are! Especially when it’s online a click away. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
