October 2013 tamiya releases

[Paul]

The 1/25 tiger and su 100 re-released I'll defo be getting that tiger, and the mk2 jag is another I'll probably add, always loved those cars.

I have to admit that Jag does look good - and this coming from a cyclist who's not into cars.

I like the Tiger. .... And I still don't have one (shame on me)

[Bridon]

That 2CV is quirky....same scale as the Revell offering. Like the Jag though....Inspector Morse's Jag?

I used that Tiger I kit to build my Otto Carius Tiger I last year.
That kit is just a re-release unfortunately.
They haven't fixed any of the issues that it had from the 70s.
If you want to see how it goes together and you have a thousand years, you can check out the build log that I posted a while ago.
She needs a lot of TLC so that she doesn't look toy like when she's done.

I wouldn't mind checking out the Chieftain Prototype or the SU 100 though. Just to see what I could do with them.

That SU100 is very basic, in the Tamiya style of the late 60's early 70's. I started with that one on my SU100 WOT SIG. Even though it was cheap when I bought it, half the cost of what Tamiya are offering now. I began to feel a bit cheated when I looked at what I could get from Dragon for the same money.
I'm sure you could do a fantastic job with it, but be prepared for a very toy-like model to start off with.

yes I do haha

Damn.... i thought you didnt like to type !!!!!

i was expecting a vid. !!!

[Coen]

Haha... I did that one before I even started making videos.

just wait another Month guys ! and you will get your hands on a Trumpeter SU-100 1/16th with Full interior !

Now that's going to be priceless !

Screw old 70's re-issues from TAMIYA ! They feed on their NAME alone... Rare are their New Kits !
I have lost a lot of respect for that company !

Love their stuff but their lack of Aggressiveness on the market makes them Weak now a days !

Take care guys !

and yes... I love my trumpeter ! LOL
