The F1M Forums

I just purchase the new Tamiya Mustang GT4. My favorite Mustang was the 65 Cobra GT350R which I built long ago and still have. I was excited to see the new kit out but waited until there were actual race decals. Indycals, just released their new decals for this kit. Four great choices so far.

If someone is tempted to try any of these Salvinos Jr models, i have them almost all listed @ 50% discount!
Most kits are Euro 22/kit, 2 of the line are Euro 29...

Waiting for the announcement of the releasedate for the latest reissue of the Tamiya 1/12 935 and also to curious to know what the difference to previous versions (re-releases) are that warrant a new kit number (and of course tag this thread ).-

Any new info on the Italieri Lancia Delta 1/12?

Roman; The 935 is set for re-release this fall! According to Tamiya's twitter-feed, which posted this message on the 3rd of july;

I still don't get the release of that kit since I can't justify to buy another GT40. The Trumpeter kit was not good but I think the Meng is not that much better. OK it is better but I still won't buy/build another one. But at that price I fear it will be the first and last 1/12 by Meng !?

Its not terrible pricing, but I think its probably $50 too much. I'm not super interested in the model, but if I was I would pick it up to support them.

Basically all those who are waiting for the kit and are uncertain whether to buy it or not will wait until it gets released and reviewed / compared to the Trumpeter kit. If the verdict is top, then a buy may be on the cards. If it's same same but different, I guess it will rot on the shelves at that price . I'm hoping for the former.

That aside 12057 (935 1/12) is scheduled for end of October - mid November. Price ~130€ from what I saw. Nice. Definitely a buy for me.
