Guest Bun E. Carlos Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 Is this true????? Updated new tool????
Eric Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 I can't say if it's a new tooled or just an updated kit but there were photos on Armorama site of the kit and spruces at a Japan hobby show. Eric
Mike Delano Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?op=mod...le&sid=5138 It claims to be a completely new tooling. I don't think it's a trap.
Guest Bun E. Carlos Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 THANK YOU Young Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GHonanie Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 looks to be link and length and rubber band. have to wait and see. Still have the old one in my stash.
TimDarrah Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 From what I've read, it's a semi-new tool of the old kit from the '70s.
Guest Bun E. Carlos Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks Tim.................I'll have to read a review on it first now.............I saw what they did with the other semi-new releases.............it would be nice thou!
TimHortman Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 I saw this & am also looking forward to what it is all about. I'd like to have a new kit, but even if the old kit is improved I'll likely pick one up. I've always had a soft spot for the stuff used in North Africa...
TimDarrah Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 I found the review for you. It's in the March '09 issue of Scale Military Modeller International" on page 22. It says that there is no new gear with the kit and from what the reviewer said, it's the exact same kit that was released in 1973. You might find more info on the Tamiya website.
JHockett Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 Check out these two threads on ML and I think you will find that it is an all new tooling. http://www.network54.com/Forum/47208/messa...our+from+Tamiya http://www.network54.com/Forum/47208/threa...da+-+first+pics Jim
TimHortman Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 Yes - thanks for the links Jim! I wouldn't be surprised if Tamiya re-issued their old kit before the new one came out just to get "one last push" on sales. Looking forward to the kit!
Guest Bun E. Carlos Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 Just read on tracklink........looks like July :)
MBrzezicki Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 I held one in my hands yesterday and it's ALL NEW!!! You can either use the traditional rubber band track or link and length plastic track. I can't wait until June.
TimHortman Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 Good news! I have one pre-ordered & am looking forward to it!
GHonanie Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Well here it is all done up. All new 1/35 Tamiya Matilda
RobMorales Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Cool, some lucky vendor will get my $$$!!!
