Aaronw Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Those TA64 Celica and 240RS rally cars are sweet! I don't believe that generation of Celica has ever been kitted. I noticed those too, my wallet is not happy. Is that the 3rd generation Celica? If so I've never been a fan of that body style, but it looks good as a rally car.
niteowl7710 Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Is that all? No daft Bosuzoku chod from Aoshima or Fujimi? Oh well let me tell you all...or no why do you even post that comment other than an attempt to flame the people who might actually care?
martinfan5 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Is that all? No daft Bosuzoku chod from Aoshima or Fujimi? This covers the first half of year, so this is it for now. Edited May 16, 2015 by martinfan5
Chuck Kourouklis Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Kool, and thanks. Too bad they didn't have any Sesto or Diablo prototypes yet... Edited May 16, 2015 by Chuck Kourouklis
martinfan5 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Kool, and thanks. Too bad they didn't have any Sesto or Diablo prototypes yet... I agree, but they are only showing stuff for the first half of the year
martinfan5 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 What is the silver firefighting rig? Its a reissue, its based on a Nissan Safari, that is about as much as I know Here is a Machine translated info on the kit "What is Safari? ... The first 111 episodes of January 3, 1982 broadcast was first appeared in the marching orders & Special Vehicle `` safari], Directive cars SWAT vehicle Corps. - But until now was almost the production of only safari, this time it is the version with a long time of [tank cars]. - Until the last year of March to June, vehicle (Safari only) has been exhibited at Yokohama Nissan Global Headquarters Gallery." Here is the kit from the last time it was issued, you can see more of the kit http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10066905
Danno Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) I suspect since the actual Toyoda AA that Toyota owns, and this kit is designed from is a bit of a homemade Frankensaloon rebuilt from several sets of factory plans after no original ones could be found, nobody knows exactly what the top end of the engine REALLY looked like enough to make a model of it. It certainly looks like a DeSoto Airflow knock-off. Edited May 16, 2015 by Danno
Atmobil Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 That Nissan Patrol Safari firefighterthing sure is of interest to me.
Daddyfink Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 I kind of like that flaired out cop car! Call me wierd..... that gt4 I will probably get my hands on too. I will not call you Wierd, but I will call you Weird! I want that Skyline Bozo as well!
PowerPlant Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Finally, a MkI Escort! The E30 M3 looks interesting also...
niteowl7710 Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 I agree, but they are only showing stuff for the first half of the year Once they get the '88 Countach 5000QV Fuel Injected kit - which was announced back before Christmas - out next month(ish), then you can expect to see more on the new projects they teased at Nuremberg.
Junkman Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 What is the silver firefighting rig? It's the Nissan Safari mobile command unit and tank trailer from the 1980s Japanese television series Seibu Keisatsu. It was a slightly sci fi police action series. They also had a fleet of specially equipped Skyline RS Turbos and a golden 280 ZX with gullwing doors.
o-man Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 EF hatch, First new car I bought. Still have an affliction for them

You make a good point, we need that one released
Casey Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 First set of Photos , these are from Beemax I'm a bit surprised there's a need for another EF Civic Group A car, when Tamiya released a (very nice) Group A Civic back in '85 or so: I'm bummed the Celica has some type of non-US spec nose on it, too.
martinfan5 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Gonna give you guys a run down of the release months for these kits , remember, all tentative and subject to change and I am not responsible if they are not released within the month they are scheduled for Note, this covers only the ones shown at the show, if you want to know the rest, check out the stash report on Youtube May TA64 Celica 1985 Safari Rally LB Works Ken & Marry 4Dr. Police Car Honda S600June Toyoda AA Chevrolet Cruise 1.6T 2012 WTCC World Champion EF3 Honda Civic Gr.A Nissan GT-R (R35) Premium Edition 2015 (US E70 Corolla sedan Late DX GRS214 Toyota Crown Athlete G 2012 Black AWS210 Toyota Crown Hybrid Royal Saloon G 2012 Silver Metallic Safari 4WD & Tank Car Lamborghini Countach 5000QV 1988July Nissan 240RS 1983 New Zealand Rally Mazda FD3S RX-7 IV Impul 31 Cima Late Obayashi Type McLaren F1 GTR Long Tail 1998 Le Mans 24h #40 Edited May 17, 2015 by martinfan5
niteowl7710 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Well considering the Celica Rally is still a 3D Mock-up of the Tooling, there's not a hope in Shizouka that's actually coming out in the remaining 14 days this month. Actually none of those under development BeeMax kits are going to come out on time, even assuming there isn't a licensing hiccup like there was for the Cruze. Casey - BeeMax's Civic is a different generation than the one Tamiya made. That Tamiya kit has also been OOP long enough to make it made out of unobtanium...which Honda models seem to get coated in over time, go price the racing kits Hasegawa made, or even the perfectly factory stock 4 door Civic sedan. In regards to the Celica, it has a rally nose on it. BeeMax doesn't seem to hold any interest in making street cars, the E30 M3 is going to be a race car as well.

Of course not, no way are they going to make it out this month, probably going to be at least a few more months out. Edited May 17, 2015 by martinfan5
niteowl7710 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Which company is doing the gtr r35? Aoshima, slated for June.
Junkman Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 That Boso Kenmary copcar is just too cool. Order duly placed. Will go nicely with that Seibu Keisatsu Safari rig.

Again with the facts? *schedules eye exam*
martinfan5 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 Again with the facts? *schedules eye exam* Dont you just love those factual facts
Rob Hall Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) The Tamiya Civic appears to be a 3rd gen model and the new kit is a 4th gen. I remember Tamiya making a street CRX of that era (recently reissued) and a street 3rd gen Civic hatchback...don't recall any 4th gen kits.. Edited May 17, 2015 by Rob Hall
