New release from Tamiya!

I didn't see this one posted yet, so I might as well do it myself...

According to HobbySearch, Tamiya will be releasing Xanavi Nismo GT-R 2003 in November (kit 24268). Here's the link:

Even though im a HUGE skyline fan...i have to agree.....I would love to see a nismo 350Z..... :grinyes: or even a carrera GT would be pretty cool............One car i would looooove (yes another skyline) is the blitz r34 4door.......i like nissans tooo much :evillol:

It better be accurate, not just another rebox with some cartograf decals. :icon16:

I was just thinking the same thing. It'll probably be a Calsonic Skyline with a few new decals, and maybe an incorrect wing and wheels :shakehead

I'll be happy to be proven wrong though :wink:


Come on Tamiya, get those guys in the design office working again!

A Dream comes true!!!i am crying,it is my favorite car from JGTC,oh god,THANKS TAMIYA!!!!! :ylsuper: :ylsuper: :ylsuper:

no,i don't think so...damn,it is tamiya..this car has TOO much differences to the old Skylines

Cool, another great skyline to get!
If only they make a JGTC 350Z...

And you can add a FULL VIEW Williams BMW FW24 ...nice for christmas.
FW24 CLEAR (http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/GoodsDetails_e.asp?Bno=&Typ1_c=102&Typ2_c=106&Typ3_c=842&SPage=1&SC=147&SN=Search+result+Search+for+%3A+fw&It_c=10034044&andor=0&scope=0&scope2=0&thumb=1&sortID=1&urikire=1&sort_sort=0&ItKey=fw&app_url=KeyReference_right_e.asp)

The VQ powered GT-R is quite different from RB powered. The hood is much lower. I bet the body is new, but the rest might be the same as the old kit.

maybe in five years Tamiya will make a model that interests me enough to buy it :shakehead

well,tamiya is a japanese brand and they produce the most successful JGTC Car of this year...just logical,imo.

@hirofkd:

Well,let's hope,maybe we see another really new model after the FW24... :smokin:

My guess too!

Lol guys i am curious, i want pics :banghead:

It's going to be curbside again for sure...

Hmm i dont know what to think, i wanted something new but this wasnt it...but then again, it is new..hmmm

Is that it then, is that what we've been waiting months for or will there be one more release maybe.
Personally i think it looks too similar to too many previous Tamiya kits.
Give us something European......German.......hint !!!

From a dissapointed Tamiya fanatic who wont be purchasing one of those.

That's my guess too, new tooling for the body everthing else is prolly the same. These decals have been available from S27 for a while, actually I think they were the '02 decals but basically the same. This is totally expected. More milage out of basically existing molds. I wouldn't be surprised to see an updated JGTC NSX either. S27 were going to release a '02 or '03 transkit to update the NSX at one time. Tamiya produces kits to sell in the japanese domestic market. They know well thier marketing and buyer base economics and it's not North American based. This is a JGTC race car, its apples and oranges to ask for a Blitz or Nismo 350Z because of this release. It'd be like hoping Revell issues a SVO Taurus because they are releasing the latest Jeff Gordon superman NASCAR or something. Don't hold your breath for a German production race car. They have done the DTM Mercedes, Opel recently. Don't get me wrong I'd love to see a GT3 R or a DTM Audi TT. Just not going to happen.

you need to see the commercial point there...audi and porsche want HORRIBLE license costs,it is just not normal anymore i can tell you..i don't know exact prizes but i guess they raised a lot in the last years...

I don't care it's a rebox or not. I love this car. I'm getting it and put the VQ in it for sure. :D

that will go on the Must have list :D

See they (Tamiya) are releasing a Peugeot 206 WRC too ! not my thing either......well i guess i'll have to wait another six months.
Later, Mike.

Looks good, but more Skylines?
