I definitely think that TAMIYA should bring out kits like:
P-40E Warhawk
Junkers Ju87 Stuka
Grumman F6F Hellcat
B-17 Flying Fortress
Fulcrum Mig-29
All in 1/48 scale, I’ve seen enough Corsairs, Mustangs, 190s, 109s.
I would like to see your thoughts. [:D]

There is absolutely no need to replace Hasegawa’s Ju 87 of F6F, unless you want easy (yawn) kits.
Yeah, your right on the Stuka and Hellcat, Hasegawa has done a good job on those kits, but I was also thinking what 1/32 scale aircraft of WWII would be nice from TAMIYA?
I would LOVE to see a 1/48th North American A-5 Vigilante (any version) from Tamiya or Hasegawa.
A 1/32nd B-36 Peacemaker would be nice also, but I AM a bit of a dreamer at times…
I am still waiting for someone to make a good F-22 kit!
How about a F8F-2 Bearcat and an F-82 Twin Mustang?
A 1/32 PEACEMAKER??? man would that be huge
i wish tamiya would make some more modern aircraft in 1/48 like a falcon or hornet and stuff…some helos would be cool too
Oh yeah, a 1/32 F-18 Hornet would be spectacular, Hasegawa has some great 1/48 Hornets. A Peacemaker would be a nice piece of art too.
I think a TAMIYA 1/48 P-40E Warhawk should be his ultimate of the year for WWII aircraft. MR. TAMIYA, GET TO WORK ON THAT…LOL!!!
Thank y’all for your support on this topic, keep the ideas coming.

I really wish Tamiya would make a 1/48th B-17, kinda over due imho. I heard that Mirage has 1 coming out but it seems that they arent much better then whats out now. Please someone make a quality B-17 in 1/48th!
Just look at the “1/48 scale wishlist” post from a few days back… Pretty much any of those will do if Tamiya is interested. Again, I second the motion for an injection-molded 1/48th Vigilante!
Ewwwwwwwwwww a Twin Mustang would be great!!! Or even a better B-26 Marauder.[8D][8D][8D]
erh why i like the P40 and bearcat F8 better since tamiya likes wwii type for 1/48 scale
From some of the things I’ve heard we will be lucky if Tamiya is still in business by the end of the year.
Well that would really suck if they went out of buisiness.
Man, that would really suck. What 's the scoop? Guess I’ve been out of the loop on that one.
Yes please do tell! I haven’t heard that rumor. Where did you hear/read that? I wholeheartedly agree on the F-82 and the F-8 Bearcat! I’d also love to see them come out with a P-61. I’m still waiting for the AmTech kits. With my luck they’ll come out the day after my funeral.

Ive never been in the loop…[:p]
But please do tell as this is news to me and a few others!
Tamiya has way to much on the market and a large share to be in serious trouble…of course Im probably wrong but I know for some one who might be out of business they sure are launching an awful lot of new products and lines(not just plastic related)…
How about a 1/72 Short S.25 Sunderland…There’s one floating around at there that was done yrs ago…but I have yet to find it or see it.
A 1/32nd B-36 Peacemaker would be nice also, but I AM a bit of a dreamer at times…

Wow! Do you have an annex to your house for this!?
I’d think you would almost need a small hanger!
That would be soooooo cool though
Id like a Tempest or a Typhoon
A 1/48th Sunderland and 1/48th Wellington
