The big winter toy show in Nurnburg started on Thursday. Here's a preliminary list of announcements-autos under the "Ziviles" listing. Not much for us to get excited about. Mostly stuff we already knew about and re-releases. I know the plane and armor modelers are stoked.

I hadn't heard of Revell Germany's La Ferrari yet. Sure that'll wind up in a Revell US box as a nice alternative for those who can't shell out the coin for the Tamiya kit.

The Trabant wagon looks really cool, i might have to snag one of those.

They also don't list Tamiya's new 1/12 scale Ducati 1199 Panagale S.

Well if you were to look at that list you'd believe that the only two companies in Nuremberg were Airfix and Revell AG...

The AG LaFerrari was discussed in the thread about their 2014 releases last month.

I didn't see a scale for these two of four kits shown at the bottom of the page:

QUICK BUILD Bugatti Veyron

QUICK BUILD Lamborghini Aventador

Possible first Veyron in scale?

I doubt they'll be to a proper scale. The Quick Build series from Airfix are made like Lego blocks except the outside surfaces make a smooth shape when assembled. They're pretty neat models, but definitely in the toy category. If it is to scale it'll probably be 1/32nd. edit - just did the math based on the dimensions given at Airfix' site, turns out they're both right around 24th scale. Hmmmm.....

Brett:

Any timing known for the Ducati and whether or not it will include the Tricolore decals??

Joe.

Looks like no on the Tricolore decals (at least Tamiya isn't showing it with them). Since it's Tamiya, and they don't announce stuff until it's ready, I'd say it'll be out within the next month or two.

Posted

Thanks Brett. If the Tricolore is not a decal option maybe there will be another version released with them. It looks like i will have to buy one and hold on to it to see!!!

Joe.

Think this one is a game changer

This one completely came out of left field for me, but I'm totally pumped about it!

I'm also liking the idea of a Veyron in kit form.

I was told that the italeri Volvo VN 780 sold so bad nobody wanted it because it as no engine , I say it must have sold that good to see

it coming back, I'll take 4 please.Now how about something new like a Peterbilt 352H.
