New Kits with hard bodies

[J3cubfan]

Does anyone know if Tamiya plans to introduce any new cars stryene body(non-lexan) soon? If so what kits are going to be introduced?

Well i for 1 wish they would produce more hard bodies with fine detail, and realistic lenses etc...

Don't know of any though

[WillyChang]

No, no news unfortunately.

I wish they'd bring out just hardshell bodysets... wouldn't that be cool?? Spare bodysets to use on your latest TA04 kit..!

The new Wild Commando may be a hard body? It ss big (1:8 scale), but may fit for 3 speed chassis?

We like hard bodies and detail more than speed...

That's why we're collecting old stuff i.s.o. racing

The latest as far as I know was that TA03R-S with the Lancia 037 shell....

I'm still hoping they will re-release the SS in 2004 (25th birthday). Same goes for the 3-speeds, I really love them. (who doesn't?)

The Ferrari 312T3 re release has a hard body and lexan in the kit, and some lovely chrome wings, but has a ugly bumper that's dying to be modified. That's good if you like F1's,

I do

Isn't that just a recycled Hummer?

[DJTheo]

Is the body the same size? Didn't think it could fit 1:8, well Tamiya know how to recycle...

Well, Tamiya's giant monsters are still roughly only the same size as a 1/10 T-Maxx... somehow that Hummer shell pix doesn't look big enough to even cover a TGX. Will have to wait for it in real life.

[DJTheo]

Yes but think Hummer was 1:12 so I dont think it would fit. Also from the pics I have a feeling that the new is just lexan

Yup, its printed lexan:-
