Posted this in the Aircraft section too, forgot there was a general forum where it could get more exposure.
Regrettable I must inform every one that Tamiya Con WILL NOT take place this year.
There were many factors that contributed to its cancellation - too many to list here.
However, I was told there will be a Tamiya Con '09 for sure, and there will be a date posted well in advance on our website.
As I get more information, I will let y’all know.
Please pass this e-mail along to everyone you know so the word gets out to those not on this list.
In the mean time, happy modeling and think of it this way: you have more time now to finish that award winning model which will take you to Japan. -– Richard Poulsen, Tamiya America
