Badboy 94 Posted January 7, 2017 Hi! Been looking for Tamiya mini tanks 1/35 but can't seems to find them anywhere... I would prefer the Sherman… Anyone knows anything about it? Cheers Badboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mokei Kagaku 2706 Posted January 7, 2017 All the versions from the time before (2010) Tamiya introduced 2.4GHz for the series were discontinued a long time ago. All 2.4GHz versions were however still listed in the Tamiya R/C Line-Up Catalog as late as issue 2016 Volume 1, whereas the the Sherman is gone in issue 2016 Volume 2 (roughly half a year later). I don't have the R/C Line-Up Catalog issue 2017 Volume 1 yet, so I don't know the very latest status. Whether a certain model is listed in a Tamiya catalog or not, can not be considered solid proof whether it's actually still available or discontinued though, but it's a rough indication. So, I reckon we can assume that the Sherman has been discontinued, which would leave: 48209 German Panther Type G Late Production (w/2.4GHz Control Unit) 48210 Russian T-34-85 Tank (w/2.4GHz Control Unit) 48211 German Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. J (w/2.4GHz Control Unit) 48213 Japan Ground Self Defense Force Type 10 Tank (w/2.4Ghz Control Unit) A Quick check of Amazon and eBay returned several hits for the 48212 US M4A3 Sherman Tank (w/2.4GHz Control Unit), but price level is rather high, maybe reflecting that it's possibly not available from Tamiya anymore. Unless it's for collecting NIB or to build as a shelf queen, I wouldn't recommend the earlier versions without 2.4GHz RC, although I have a NIB 48201 Abrams for sale.

Tamiyabigstuff 832 Posted January 8, 2017 There is 1 48207 listed on the Amazon UK site at £375 Seems like quite a lot for such a small model, may as well go for the 1/16 version - much more fun ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
