Anyone mentioned this yet?

[TWINSET]

Taken straight off Tamiya Japan site, so apologies for grammar!

Ground Self-Defense Force light dress shell movement car total length = 400mm

1/10 electromotive RC car series No.326 - 1/10 RC JGSDF LIGHT ARMORED VEHICLE

- You are dispatched to Iraq and the light dress shell movement car of Ground Self-Defense Force where attention focuses on future participating being the RC car, it is appearance. - As for the polycarbonate make body which reproduces the boorish style which designates plane surface as keynote to real with the olive drab paint completed. - Adopting the shaft four running chassis which has double wishbone 4 German suspension, it runs also the off load lightly.

Item 58326 May 26th (water) 15,800 Yen in dispatch retail price (classified by tax)

* Use ƒvƒƒ|: X peck GT-I

Hmmm...don´t know if it be smart of Tamiya to release this model with all that problem going on in Irak and the captured Japanese journailists.

Just commenting this because of the "You are dispatched to Iraq" phrase of the translated text.

Oh that looks killer. I am going to have to get one of those.

Guys, we should really leave politics out of our discussions. It always degenerates down to a *******ing match.

Anyone else think , judging by the bumper that it's a rebodied Hummer?

[JesterRace]

It looks goofy, if they do produce this it will sell very little at most.

[bholio]

Looks like a Hummer with a new Lexan shell.

I guess it's one of these:

I think it's ugly in Lexan. It would be very cool in hard-plastic, like the Hummer. But those front lights and details need to be more than decals.

Nice that they re-release also another M-chassis, the good old MX5 []

Wow - are they re-releasing the MX-5 / Miata / Eunos? Any more details - anyone? Wonder if it will use the M-04M chassis - I love that on the re-released Alfa GTA...

Wish Tamiya would release the Mk2 MX-5 / Miata shell on the M-04M chassis - I'd love to recreate my 1:1 car in miniature []

Cheers,

Chris

[DJTheo]

Yes, M-04M chassis like for the Alfa, that was one of the few things I could undestand in Japanese []

[SJoerD]

More on the Miata in this thread. [8D]

That New release looks pretty werid. They shoudl have done a Hard body methinks - a lexan body shines. A military vehicle has a matt exterior I think...

On the other hand, the new Mazda looks really nice, I want one! But I also want the Alfa... [:I]

I wonder when they will release the Beetle, Porsche 911/Boxter, Merc SLK, based on the M04L...

[mymonsterbeetleisbroken]

awwwwww -

a monster beetle re release with the new beetle body[8D]

oooo, even more of a shock to us would be a sand scorcher re release, with a new beetle body[)]
