Now hoping for a Tamiya 1/20 RedBull Honda

Well all with the win at Austria and Honda engines 1st win, here is hoping that Tamiya will issue a new Honda Powered Red Bull in time for Shizuoka in 2020. I doubt that RedBull would let them release a kit earlier but it is a nice looking car. Great win and great excuse for a new kit. I think they could feel confident this would do well in Europe and Asia so it kind of seems like a no brainer.

It's a shame the ebbro 2019 Toro Rosso turned out to be a mith. A 2019 Red Bull from Tamiya would be excellent.

I think the biggest thing will be how well the SF70 and the TS050 sold in their first six to eight weeks. If they made a profit quickly, its much more likely to have them build a new kit.

Don't be to sure about it.
I also expected Tamiya to release a Honda RA106 when Jenson won the Hungarian Grand Prix 2006, but sadly they didn't made it.

I doubt they will do this kit. Lisence from RedBull will not be easy to get, and they just released a F1car so perhaps they will wait for another couple of years. I guess DTM will do this kit though.

How/Where to pre-order?

SF70H already removed from catalogue - along with all ferraris.
Tamiya San on the company blog talking about steadily declining sales.
Teams pushing up license fees as though the sport is popular.
I’m not holding my breath

I don't know if red bull license is so hard to get it. Belkits and Revell had released several kit with Red Bull decal. I think it's more a problem of "know how". And of course of royalties.
I'd better bet on Ebbro which is a true Honda Fan. A the STR14 prototype seen on Ebbro's stand at '19 Shizuoka show that he's thinking about it.

Yeah, a curbside does Tamiya now justice. It might be a nice build up but it is really spartan.
