martinfan5 Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) It is the 11th of May in Japan, so that means it is opening day of the Shizuoka Hobby Show 2017. Up First is what Beemax Models has on display Edited May 11, 2017 by martinfan5
BVC500 Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Thanks! Is Aoshima taking a break? Usually they announce some exciting future kits.
fumi Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 The Carina really baffles me. Other than it raced in Macau I don't really understand why Beemax would want to kit it.If I were asked to come up with a Super Touring subject, the Audi A4 or the Alfa 155/156 would be my only choices. The rest would be tough sells, eventhough I'd really want a Vauxhall Cavalier or Mansell's Mondeo.

Toyota was either 2nd or 3rd in the Manufacturer's Points during those seasons also.
espo Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 I would like to do the Audi, because it's an Audi. The Volvo also since you just don't is many Volvo kits.
Dave Van Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Interesting stuff....not sure how much I'll buy....thx
djflyer Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Fantastic! The Audi and the Porsche (if its full detail) for sure. And a Volvo 240 series! Hot * * * * I have some plans for a couple of those.
1959scudetto Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 As a big rally fan, the Audi Quattro S1 and the Lancia Delta S 4 are simply must-haves !!!
lysleder Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Very interesting indeed. It looks as if these kits are all curbside though. Possibly with the exception of the Lancia. Is there any information on detail level of these ones.
Rob Hall Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Good stuff...had heard about some of them previously. Looking forward to the Porsche and Volvo, maybe some of the others also. I like Beemax's approach of building race cars as race cars strictly, rather than a compromised approach.
martinfan5 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Taking a look at what Hasegawa had on display, we already seen the renderings in the pre show thread that my buddy Nightowl posted. Edited May 11, 2017 by martinfan5
martinfan5 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Posted May 11, 2017 And taking a look at what Platz-Nunu/Belkits had on display

Is there any information on detail level of these ones.Everything but the Liberty Walk GTR and the Diablo GT-R from Aoshima will curbside, the level of detail is better than most of the US kits at the moment, even without have a engine.

Too bad. It baffles me why we get stuck with curbsides so many times. At least once I would have liked a complete quattro driveline, and I am sure alot of people wanted the tii motor for the BMW. Maybe there will be a diecast I can rob the underhood detail from.
Bainford Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 Wow! Never heard of Beemax Models before. Just googled them; they have some nice looking stuff.
niteowl7710 Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 The Lancia Super Delta will be full detail. They've shown the 3D files showing the engine back when they announced the beginning of development last fall.
Brett Barrow Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) Aoshima I saw a 1:1 Liberty Walk GT-R in Philly the other night. Same color: Edited May 12, 2017 by Brett Barrow
martinfan5 Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 I saw a 1:1 Liberty Walk GT-R in Philly the other night. Same color: Oh that is nice, thanks for sharing the photo's
gasman Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) The Liberty Walk GTR is cool, but I'd rather see the new 2017 GTR. The only thing that really interests me is the Volvo, and the 2002 Edited May 12, 2017 by gasman
