TAMIYA 2013 ?
As in the previous years
a) which products do you think Tamiya could release this year (static, RC, mini, anything else) and
b) which products would you personally like to be released (regardless of if their chances are realistic)?
Feel free to use the comments link at the end of this entry (comments are shown after being checked which can take some hours).
The team of tamiyablog.com thanks again for the continuously growing
reader base and support and wishes everyone a great 2013!

I’d like to see Tamiya produce a 1/48 and/or 1/32 scale F-82 Twin Mustang that would be much better quality than the old outdated Modelcraft model. Too many manufacturers produce it only in 1/72 and never go on to make a new 1/48 scale model. Tamiya making this would be awesome. I would like to see Tamiya also make a 1/48 scale P-38 and a P-51H along with both versions (razorback and bubbletop) of their nice P-47 in 1/32 scale. Most of all I’d like to see them produce the F-82 Twin Mustang especially since one has recently been almost completely restored to airworthiness they just need the left-handed prop to take her up I believe.

I really wish that Mr. Tamiya would release the Blazing Blazer. It’s a tru stunner and a highly wanted model every time there is one listed on eBay tamiya fans go wild. I always wanted the Blazing Blazer every since I laid my eyes on it 20 years ago and fans snatch theme no sooner than I can save up for one.
The bruiser is a great re-release, however I write to Tamiya to release this most wanted 3 speed often not only for me but others as welI. I only hope that they will respond and release this vehicle.
With the release of the T55 Enigma and the future release of the M1A2 Abrams SEP Tusk 2, I would really love to see an Iraqi T62 with the rubber side skirts and armored searchlight covers. Also a Type 69 -2 with the boom shield slat armor based on the fantastic T55 kit but with the correct engine deck and transmission bulge at the bottom of the hull!
Please re-issue:
1/6 Harley Davidson Fat Boy
1/12 Lotus 49 Ford
Thanks.
My wish list :
Tamiya bigwig
Porsche 959

I wish… no, i implore Mr. Tamiya to give us some “modern” vehicles (meaning post WWII!) in the MM48 series. The Hummer was an acceptable first step, but one step won’t lead us very far…
For instance, a T-55 as a second step would be just wonderful!! Followed by a Merkava I and maybe some M-113, M-48/60, T72.
And on any scale, after the wonderful Tiran-5, which is already in itself a great news, i dream we could get an Achzarit!!!
Cheers!
Another Tamiya fan.

I really wish to see a new MotoGP (2012 versions) bike, maybe a reedition of the 24092/24094.
either 1/48 or 1/32 P-38, any variant
1/32 Dornier 335
1/32 Me-262
1/48 or 1/32 B-26
1/48 B-17
1/48 B-58
The last battleship: HMS Vanguard in 1:350
I really would like to see 1/350 scale model of CV6 (USS Enterprise) 1942 version.
PLEASE retool your WWII 1/350 Missouri as a WWII New Jersey! Round Bridge. We need a highly tooled Iowa Class to go along with the new tool Yamato.
How about:
A 1/24 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
A 1/200 Nimitz class carrier
A 1/32 Boeing B-29
And a pony, and a pet monkey.
1/700 Meko 200 series (options for multiple countries)
1/700 Halifax class
1/700 Iroquois class (Refit)
1/700 Type 23 Duke class
Basically, anything 1/700 and modern, and not just something from the USN or JMSDF. Please, and thank you.
Update the 1/350 USS Enterprise CVN-65 kit to how she has looked for the last few years up to her retirement this past Dec. The basic kit as it is now will work for the update, it would just require a few additions/modifications. Like communication domes, radars, weapons platforms, weapons, & the RHIB deck to name the ones I know about. I’d be happy to send you photos of the above mentioned additions/modifications…
Also like to see 1/350 kits of the following:
-USS West Virginia BB-48 (1944-45 fit)
-USS Long Beach CGN-9
-USS Bainbridge CGN-25
-USS Truxtun CGN-35
-California Class CGN-36/37
-Past Aircraft Carriers
-Forrestal Class CV-59/60/61/62
-Kitty Hawk Class CV-63/64
-USS America CV-66
-USS JFK CV-67
-USS Midway CV-41
-USS Coral Sea CV-43
Thanks for listening!!

1/700 Essex Class SCB-125 CV
1/700 Midway Class CV
1/700 Midway Class SCB-110 CV
An accurate 1/350 USS Enterprise CV-6. Also, a 1/48 B-58 Hustler gets my vote!
More US Naval ships! Tamiya was once the go-to place ships for, but not so much anymore. The Enterprise/Hornet mold is older than I am, and Tamiya had a chance to fix it when they release the Yorktown, but big flipping surprise, it was the same thing! Time to invest in a up-to-date, accurate mold of the Yorktown class aircraft carriers. Lets get a proper CV-6 Enterprise, heaven knows it would certainly sell, in either 1/350 or 1/700. People will see Trumpeters 1/200 Hornet in 2 years and think thats a bit big and expensive, if only someone made something just as good in a smaller scale. The modeling community has their hands out, screaming “take my money!” for an accurate yorktown class carrier in plastic.
Screw it, can we get some more Yamato’s or Missouri’s?
I’d like to see a 1/35th Chaffee, M4a3, Puma, Luchs.
1/48 Hellcat, Dauntless, P-39 and P-40.
1/350 CV 6 U.S.S. Enterprise (or a sister).
1/350 Courageous-class carrier
1/350 Revenge-class battleship
1/48 P-38
1/48 Supermarine Scimitar
1/48 Torpedo and rescue boats
.
A 1/350th Royal Navy County Class Cruiser, please.
This will be attractive to Japanese, British, American and German modellers.
.
I would like to see an accurate 1/32 P-51B and Dornier 335. Some 1/32 scale softskins would be nice also, such as an AEC Matador Fuel tanker and Austin K2 Ambulance.
A new tool 1/350 Essex class Carrier and if I can be greedy a new tool 1/350 Yorktown class too.
