As expected, Tamiya are spinning off a Crusader III from their existing moulds.
Something new is a Japanese Type 95 Kurogane passenger car - which is great for modellers of Japanese stuff like me. Less wonderful is that it only comes as part of a set of IJA aircraft. Boxing it separately (and upscaling it to 1/35) would be just great.....
Oh and a Flakvierling.

Unfortunately very boring news
I keep hoping they would do a couple of modern vehicles... M1... M113... Humvee...
Or really be daring and fun and do the Famo and/or Dragon Wagon. Wouldn't those be great in 1/48?
Why don't their marketing people ever think that the really interesting vehicles would sell and make money?
I'll just keep on dreaming.

Well I'd certainly go for a Challenger 1, Challenger 2 and Warrior (and CVR(T)s and FV432s but we're entering the realms of pure fantasy here
)
Dreaming of a 1/48th Matilda too....
