[CAT]CplSlade Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I don't build 1/48 so I'm not that familiar with Tamiya's catalog in that scale, but I would vote for any Japanese plane not already available in 1/32. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJTX Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 P-38 Spitfire Mk I Just those two would thrill me to no end. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as it just me, or does Tamiya’s 48 Skyraider seem to build up with a flat wing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty44 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Other than the two recent popular kits, the P-38 and F-14, I have zero knowledge of any of Tamiya's 1/48th scale kits...and I am proud to say that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new SWS 15 & 16 are re-boxings of the original kits ... BUT with the previously separately sold weapons sets added (choose your load out WoW style!!) ... apparently at the same price as the older kits ... we don't have them here yet but I'm sure they'll be along soon with the Hs.129. Rog P.S ... You really do come up with some interesting "Top 5" discussions ... I enjoy 'em bro ... keep them coming!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted November 12, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 12, 2019 The Beau with the Tamiya treatment would be a real treat. And JohnB might give us more Beaus than were built by Bristol's in the first place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could swear, at one point, he had a production line for Corsairs resembling some of the old WWII photos!! 1 hour ago, Bomber_County said: Agree with Rog bar one, I’d swap out a Spitfire for a Hurricane........ I WAS originally thinking of putting in a Post Script for "Honourable Mentions" and a Hurricane Mk.I / Mk.II was top of that list. The only reason I didn't include at least one is that we have a half decently priced, accurate and detailed one in the Fly kits - I'd still buy one though!

IainMackayDall Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I never realised just how few 1/32 scale aircraft Tamiya has compared to their 1/48 scale collection But mu choice would include these: MiG-15 bis Gloster Meteor F.1 & F.3 V-1 (Fieseler Fi103) Fairey Swordfish Mk.I & Mk.2 Floatplane Heinkel He162 A-2 "Salamander" Mitsubishi G4M1 Yamamoto Transport (w/17 Figures) Kawanishi N1K1 Kyofu Type 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubertB Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 And drool you can, mate. Either version of their Swordfish is in the Top-5 efforts of their A-team. Add the SBD, and that leaves only 2 slots left for other Trumpeter kits ... Hubert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
