TA64 Celica
Nissan 240 RS
McLaren MP4/2

I can't wait.....

And the EF Civic is wonderful news! I have always appreciated that Aoshima has done all the in-between-subject matter and their molding and modelling has been on par with Tamiya since the 90s. Super sharp and clear, and they always nail proportion unlike Fu...

TLDR - Me too!

Me three

Beemax deserves a better recognition because they're the one who plans and develops those in-between subjects. Aoshima is helping Beemax in refining the tools and printing the box and decals.

Nissan 240RS Rally-love it!

Two fantastic GP B rally cars plus the Belkits Mk I Escort. Am I dreaming or is this really happening!
I need more shelves for more model boxes.

You're right. I am loving Beemax, too!

Its really exciting that a company can come out of (seemingly) nowhere and fill all these gaps in model subject matter. I don't care what people say about the hobby, it seems to be thriving, and its a great time to be building!

and the fact that they listen to their customers makes it even greater.

That CIVIC though...

Really hope they release the Diablo soon.

Aoshima blog regrettably admits that there will be no all-new-tool for 2015 Shizuoka hobby show, and wonders if it will have to be postponed until the end of the year.

It's a bummer for those who're waiting for Aoshima's Diablo kit, but I haven't even started their Murcielago SV kit yet, so the delay doesn't concern me much.

Chevy Cruze...!

Aoshima always had that extra feel to it. I was never disappointed in their cars.

Celica GpB release slipped from May till July.

Beemax's MP4/2 is also delayed from May to June. Aoshima's Gulf McLaren F1 long tail for the Japanese market has also been delayed for a few months.
Fujimi's Lotus Europe is also behind the schedule. Ebbro's F1 kits are almost always delayed.
Looks like only Tamiya and Hasegawa's release dates are believable.

Beemax has post the test shot of the Civic on their Facebook page.
