Thanks!

Yeh, looks like the Tamiya figs from the DAK 88 kit and of course the fine ICM 76.2....not a bad idea if the price is right...

I want! ICM also make great Russian guns, their kits are top notch!

Has Tamiya lost the ability to produce anything original? Or are they just acknowledging the fact that anyone else' kits are better than their own?

HAAA what biggles said lol

Curious as to whether this Tamiya re-box with figs is cheaper than the original ICM release.

Other than the mkiv male and new Japanese staff car you mean? Bashing tamiya for a lack of originality when they were the only people for years doing British woo and modern, us modern, Japanese and japenese modern and French WWII for years is a bit off

Agree with Chris, without . we would still be in the dark ages on modeling

If it wasn't for Tamiya buying or licensing other manufacturers molds, they would still be in the 'Dark Ages'.

like the Char B? The MkIV male? the quad tractor that for years was the only one in that form on the market? the LRDG 15cwt that is STILL the only one on the market? the tilly? the Matilda II? the Type 10 MBT? the type 90 MBT? I cold go on

their reboxes are a fraction of what they do, and are really aimed at the Japanese market where these kits cost an arm and a leg in their original box

How come people don't put the same level of bile and vitriol into their posts when Italeri, Revell, Dragon and others do it?

and they invented 1/35 as a scale.


I suspect its tall poppy syndrome, the bigger and better a company is, the more people want to have a go an knocking them down

Oh, I complain a lot about Dragon, too, as they've not been putting much effort into their releases lately. As for Revell and Italeri, there's not really much worth complaining about! (More fuel on the fire! Hee-hee-hee)
