Predictions for 2017

I know that its not even 2017 yet, but the curiosity bug bit me. Do you have any predictions for 2017 releases from Tamiya, Aoshima, Fujimi, Revell-USA, Revell-Germany and others?

I have to say that I think 2016 was a pretty darn good year, at least for fulfilling my wishes. I got an FXX-K, AMG GT and Aventador SV. Plus, many got their wish for a Pagani.

Re: Predictions for 2017

My wishlist of race cars and where they might come from

Fujimi - Mercedes AMG GT GT3
Tamiya - Super GT NSX, then hopefully the Nissan and Lexus too
Aoshima - Huracan GT3
Revell - Audi RS5 DTM, Audi R8 GT3

Re: Predictions for 2017

I'm very happy to be able to say- "2017? Meh!"

I got my E30 M3 this year. And a very nice (if a bit simple) Lotus Esprit. There is very little I can think of now that any kit maker could announce that would really excite me. (A Lotus Exige would do it).

But then again, until Tamiya released it I had no idea that I needed a Mercedes 300SL....

Re: Predictions for 2017

Tamiya: a 300SL roadster, Lexus LC-500 or Porsche 911 GT3 RS?
Aoshima: probably more Lamborghini variations, but it would be nice to see them finally do a proper McLaren F1 short tail (preferably road car for me)
Fujimi: who knows!
Revell-Germany: a classic Mercedes like the pagado would be nice.

Re: Predictions for 2017

Manta 400 and Lancia S4, Quattro short wheel base are coming. Ascona 400, 6R4 would be nice additions.
Suddenly we are seeing our dreams come true.
Merry Xmas modellers.

Re: Predictions for 2017

i'm actually expecting more morden F1 kits, like mercedes amg w07, from tamiya. it's been about 5 years since their RB6 kit. But who knows, their last WRC car kit was 10 years ago..

Re: Predictions for 2017

Surprised no one wants to see McLaren P1 or P1 GTR. I would love to be able to build one.
No matter what company releases the model.

P1 can be converted from die-cast model which is officially licensed by McLaren and thus true to scale. In overall it's a good starting point concerning that the engine is not seen even on real P1.
