Hi, Guys, I read from Track Link that there will be a Hummel Early from Tamiya this summer, is this true or just wishful thinking? Please please, let it be true! :-)

The rumour goes the Dragon is going to release a Nashorn, not Hummel. And the Dragon Nashorn is pretty much confirmed.

Dave,

Some of the guys in my model club are friends with people from Tamiya America and those folks said that Tamiya IS planning on releasing a Hummel this summer. Can't wait for that!

Yes! Yes! Although I just finished a DML Hummel, but would definitely like to see a Tamiya one. the DML Hummel left a lot to be desired, especially the detail of the fighting compartment. Now, dare us to be greedy, since Tamiya is going to release a Hummel soon, maybe they can use the almost same spruce for a nice Nashorn?? #:-) :-)

I wouldn't count on Tamiya doing a Nashorn if the rumors about DML doing a retooled one are true. I don't know that Tamiya would waste the time unless the DML Nashorn turns out to be a piece of crap (very unlikely though).

Heard that this is all rumor so far. I wish I wish but heck I guess just have to wait and see.
