New releases

[srob]

Any interest in a thread for new releases?

I like 1/12 motorbike models, and Tamiya have announced a model of the 2020 Suzuki GSXR-R MotoGP bike.

Details here: https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/14139/inde...

I believe they’ve announced a new tank today too?

Thought it might be nice to have a place we can drop new releases in to

Good idea. Bookmarked

Good, idea, but I normally use this place --> Britmodeller rumourmonger forum for my daily new release news/rumours.


I also check out this site for Tamiya specific releases (include the RC stuff too)--> Tamiya future releases

Yes, was going to suggest TamiyaBlog too. Hobby Search is pretty good at watching for upcoming releases.

I saw Tamiya are launching a new M18 Hellcat tank destroyer soon. I’ll be getting one of those for sure.

I like the look of their new F-4 kit too would look great in the Sundowners livery.

The f4 is very nice in the plastic , but so it should be…

Looks like Model Factory Hiro is about to release another 1/9 bike. From the teasers it looks like it'll be a Crocker, which are a rare old American made bike.

I'd love to know how and why they select what they build. I have their Montgomery waiting for my ability to match the kit, and I suspect I may add this one next year!

An old friend was recently bought their 1/12 Porsche 908/03 for a 'special' birthday. He's petrified of starting the build.

I was bought the 1/9 Montgomery motorbike for my 40th as I love the real version. I feel exactly the same!

I’m building lots of practices and reckon I may just about be ready when I retire

Just in case anyone's not aware, Border Model has taken up the reins of the Wingnut 1/32 Lanc and it should be available shortly.

By the way, have you seen the prices Wingnut kits are making now?

Wow, that would be a whopper! I'm sticking to 1/72 at the moment and even then only have enough room for twin engined planes

I saw this on Facebook earlier this week, I know the quality will be crap but the subject is interesting https://www.modelroundup.com/Ford-Bronco-Half-Cab-... unfortunately they don't ship to the UK
