New Tamiya figures and more :)

New Tamiya 1/35 Kettenkrad on the way
I wish they would do one in 1/16 as well
The new style of Tamiya figures are getting better and better

Their new figures are excellent - believe they're 3D scanned & printed from live models wearing original uniforms & equipment. The odd Hornet head raises them up to the standard of resin figures. They also seem to be complementing their recent figure sets with decals for the insignia - these look particularly effective on the last few German Panzer crewmen they've released.

I hope the Kettenkrad is a new tooling too, & not a reboxing of their 1970s version.

Just read an update on another AFV modelling site, apparently it is a complete new tooling so will be worth waiting for!
The Panzer IV Ausf G (Early) looks great too, nice poses on the figures.

Impressive ..used to be pretty nasty stuff..Miniart, ICM..a few plastic figure makers are upping their game and doing intersting stuff- usually for dioramas.

I agree a 1/16 Kettenkrad would be great.
Have bought some of the new Tamiya 1/35 figures and they are worlds apart from their old stuff. Will most likely get the Kettenkrad when released as well.

Well......
There is a Kettenkrad in 1/16 but the price is way too high, as it becomes a fully functional Rc model.....

WOW!!! you was correct in saying it was priced way too high.

I am sure I have seen a 3d printed version for sale previously but the detail was lacking.

I thought you might just do the top half of the Kettenkrad

Love the new Tamiya figs, they certainly are getting it together. Question is, what do I do with all my old Tamiya figs still left on the shelf? Ah, great starter kits for the grandkids, right? I mean, that's where I started, way, way, way back in the mid 70's.

Yes, that Kettenkrad kit must have 14k gold rims, or something. The price is absurd, I'm out!
