Hi everyone!

Has anybody seen this coming before?

I thought "WOW" when I saw it, though I cannot comment on accuracy.

HTH

So finally Tamiya unveiled their new T-55!
I guess this is normal they chose the Enigma as I just finished my conversion

Accuracy wise, it looks good and it seems the engine deck is a Czech one and not the original Russian one. So no need to scratchbuild the missing frame ;-)

Olivier

Really "WOW",

I didn't expect such a thing, a big surprise

PS: I hope it is not a joke...

THAT'S INCREDIBLE!

It was the time for some new versions derived from this stunning model!!

They've made a new upper hull with czech engine deck , so that's a deep refurbishment of the original mould!



Great news, grazie mille Nicola

Ciao

GREAT NEWS INDEED!!!! First "new" Tamiya release in a looong time I will actually want to buy

Just in time too, as I was just about to order the original T-55 plus the Legend conversion!!

Grazie for the heads-up, Nicola!

Hisham

Wow, this is really great news. What an absolutely wonderful time to be a modeller of modern subjects. Cannot wait to get my hands on this!

Fantastic stuff from the big T. Thanks for the heads up Nicola!

...let me dream

Here's something coming from Trumpeter that's maybe a little close to your dreams, Mauro



Hisham

I know Hisham

But that's a T-62, it isn't my DEAR t-55

The legend set is on its way to my home from Lucky Model Luckily I had on sale price...

Excellent, time for my usual rant: just as I barely finished building th Legend conversion, they announce this.

great another one to build, looking forward to this release, it will be interesting to see how it compares to the resin conversions

Thankfully I built mine already nearly 10 years ago

Great, now I gotta dig the old dog out and polish off the conversion on the Esci hull before this one hits the shelves.

I am looking forward to the release and the flood of tweeks that folks will find.

Hi just saw the model on hobby link japan for pre order.

Cool. I usually get their news letter and haven't seen this yet. Pre-ordered. T-55 subjects are A-OK with me. It'd be nice if it came in the same box with my Zvezda T-90....

You guys are all welcome!

Anyhow I can only relate to what many of you are saying: imagine how I felt when Hobbyboss announced their HET one month AFTER I had just bought the massive AA resin one!!!!!!!

In any case I am very glad things eventually make their way in styrene as I am not so skilled when it comes to resin.

Oh,by the way the editors/administrator have just made it official in the news section.

great news, but bad for new Voyager product

My poor wallet! Ugh......

Where is the outrage? This is obviously a Accurate Armour copy!

(Being sarcastic here.)

As the Hobby Boss M1070 was brought up, I notice that while there was all kinds of "discussion" about them copying AA, not one person yet has mentioned it with Tamiya. Sigh.

I will, however, buy several of them.

Wow this is a surprize and good news. I haven't bought a Tamiya kit in ages. The figure looks pretty good .....for a Tamiya figure

I also would love to see them update the Bradley with a full interior

I have to check my backups.. I had a Walkaround of the Enigma that is in Bovington. It was also placed here in the walkarounds section but I guess it dissapeared with the several server moves and other problems.
