Also saw Tony's Tamiya Parts state recently that stock was now going to be extremely limited. Ah right, thanks for confirming. Yes, I noticed the listing had gone from the Fusion site (my pre-order is with them). I also just did a quick search on FB and see that Model Build have just announced they won't be able to fulfil all their orders. A real shame! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt.Speirs 1253 Posted October 28, 2021 Maybe Tamiya only sold the entire batch to only one dealer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KILLorBE 23 Posted November 3, 2021 On 10/27/2021 at 2:18 PM, Wandy said: Seems like this kit is going to be seriously undersupplied as Tamiya have, once again, underestimated the demand for it and retailers are having to cancel pre-orders. Tamiya really need to sort themselves out as this is becoming a frequent occurence. Have they underestimated the demand, was it going to be a limited release from the start, or could it have something to do with the current global shortage on just about everything? Sure hope I don't miss out on this one, pre-ordered it kinda late (Early September) as I didn't think they would be gone before the release, but when I found it at €220 shipped when looking for some other parts, I just couldn't resist.

Wandy 1527 Posted November 5, 2021 It's being released on a limited edition product number so was always going to be lower on numbers. But it does seem that they have underestimated the demand and have given retailers false hope in the number of kits that they will be able to supply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smirk-racing 253 Posted November 6, 2021 Does anyone happen to know if this is the same body (or very close to same) as the body sold with the kit? https://www.amainhobbies.com/tamiya-1-10-porsche-911-carrera-body-set-clear-tam51543/p-quaxqswahmzxactz?gclid=CjwKCAjwz5iMBhAEEiwAMEAwGO9mjuvYAEWycXX68CrdKxINvS3GucKAnuAUYYrV4g1ltEScDYrulRoCjykQAvD_BwE Thanks!

middleagedgrup 218 Posted November 6, 2021 No, I think that looks like the RSR body from the Targa Florio TT02 kit. It has the ducktail spoiler rather than the whale tail. It is similar, but not identical. I think its more likely to be part 11824141, being the Jagermeister body: https://www.modelbuild.co.uk/products/tamiya-1824141-11824141-porsche-turbo-rsr-type-934-jagermeister-body-shell But someone more knowledgeable than me will be able to say for sure! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juhunio 6830 Posted November 6, 2021 Yup, it’s 11824141, one of tamiya’s best body shells IMO https://tamico.de/Tamiya-Body-Porsche-934-RSR-TA02SW 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

middleagedgrup 218 Posted November 7, 2021 No worries. Also, if you're looking use the above-mentioned body then Tamiya 19004433 is the accompanying sprue containing the rear wing, mirrors and light buckets for that body. https://www.rcmart.com/tamiya-ta02sw-porsche-rsr-type-934-jgermeister-black-edition-rear-wing-mirrors-light-buckets-h-and-l-parts-set-black-19004433-00076656 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My plan for this one is to make it a very light-duty runner with emphasis on the scale looks of the shell. I have lots of other vehicles which are not so attractive and which are treated rather roughly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure that as soon as pictures emerged of what the kit actually looked like boxed, it would’ve ramped up demand. Shame Tamiya haven’t got the 47479 TA02 Carbon Chassis Conversion arriving at the same time. I think my Tamico order for the kit is due around 10 Dec, and the order I just placed with them for the chassis conversion is end of Jan delivery (at the moment).

Zealot 397 Posted November 14, 2021 Man, same thing happened in Australia with the TF Evo. They only ordered in around 30 kits for the whole country. Hope the same isn't the case with the 45th Anniversary model. But it does seem that Tamiya may have done another run of the Evo to make up the shortfall? I say that because it's cropped up as available again in Hong Kong stores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
