Tamiya 1999 RCHTA Report

By Michael Benolkin

No surprises from Tamiya. Tamiya/USA was present in a big way at the show, with one of the busier pavilions. Understandable since a good portion of Tamiya's income is still from the RC car world. The 1/48 Fairey Swordfish is still on track for release soon, as is the 1/35 18 ton Famo Halftrack.

Upcoming releases include:

1/72 Mosquito FB.VI/NF.II
1/32 F-15J Eagle JASDF
1/35 Kubelwagen Afrika Korp
1/700 LST-4001 Ohsumi JMSDF

No word on any of the other items that have been kicked around the rumor mill.
