Details of upcoming Tamiya 61115 1/48 Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien to be presented at Tamiya Fair 2016
Tamiya is delighted to announce the addition of a new subject to the 1/48 scale Aircraft Series – the Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien, which was the only Pacific War fighter on the Japanese roster with a liquid-cooled engine. The timing is particularly auspicious, as Kawasaki Heavy Industries is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year and exhibited a restored Ki-61-II Hien in Japan. The Ki-61-Id variant depicted by the Tamiya kit was the most prolifically produced Hien, and there is plenty for modelers to look forward as it accurately renders the graceful, large-wingspan form with aplomb, also capturing the Ha-40 with supercharger. Come and find out more at Tamiya Fair 2016, which takes place from November 19th.

A Diorama Just Waiting to be Made!
Delivered to Imperial Japanese Army air units from April 1944, towards the end of the war in the Pacific, the Hayate was largely used in the interceptor role, taking on B-29 bombers and carrier-based attackers. U.S. evaluation of the Hayate after WWII was also very positive. The Type 95 Kurogane, meanwhile, is said to be the world’s first practical 4WD vehicle, and was a 3-seater was manufactured for military use from 1937, powered by a 1,400cc air-cooled engine that produced 33hp. The front wheels employed independent suspension, while the rear was a leaf-sprung setup. All told, around 4,800 were manufactured between 1935 and 1944, and they served the Japanese military through China, South-East Asia and in various areas in the conflict throughout the Pacific.
Both of these subjects are recreated with accuracy and efficiency, making them an ideal choice for beginners and veterans alike. Also included are a handy base to make your own diorama on, plus a sheet which realistically depicts a grassy surface.

Officially still unconfirmed surprise of Tamiya 47330 1/10 The Bigwig (2017) re-release
Funnily we used the Bigwig a month ago for Tamiyablog’s 10 year anniversary (as it was a released as a special anniversary kit to celebrate 10 years Tamiya RC models) and yesterday I couldn’t decide whether to post its promo video (since this year is its 30th anniversary) or the Quick Drive promo video on Flashback Friday, Tamiya never fails to surprise us.
Source is Metro Hobbies and since they use still photos of the original we decided to use for now our recent background image, a scan from the great old Tamiya Guide Books.
Tamiya original Bigwig 58057 – not 47330 re-release
Released in July 1986, on the 10th anniversary of Tamiya’s first RC, the Bigwig was a landmark in the development of Tamiya RC racing cars and remains highly prized as a collectors’ car for its unique design. This was the first Tamiya car with a body penned by an outside designer: Japanese full size race car designer and team owner Takuya Yura. This re-release version is based closely upon the original, with some tweaks to bring it up to date. This unique car featured a rack and pinion steering system and distinctive Moon Dish wheels. The body styling was innovative, and as all Tamiya kits were, easy to build and good value for money.
★ This is a 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit. Length: 390mm, width: 234mm, height: 163mm.
★ Aerodynamic body is lightweight and durable polycarbonate. Engine and exhausts are depicted by chassis parts.
★ Utilizes a sturdy ABS resin bathtub-type chassis.
★ Shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain for excellent stability off-road, with full ball bearings ensuring minimal power loss.
★ 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with CVA oil dampers lets the car tackle bumpy surfaces.
★ Rack and pinion steering (unique to this Tamiya model) gives excellent driving feel. Boots cover the steering tie-rods, and anti-wear grease is included in the kit to seal the mechanism from dirt and gravel.
★ “Aerodish” 1-piece wheels are combined with oval block pattern tires for superior grip.
★ Stickers have been redesigned while keeping to the overall theme of the original.
★ Includes a GT-Tuned motor (25T) with sticker unique to this model.
★ ESCs 22mm and lower in height can be fitted in the kit standard position.
