Nuremburg 2005

Hi All,

Any thoughts on Nuremburg? Seems to be a bit of a letdown again on the automotive side, with not too much being released from the big manufacturers:

Tamiya: http://www.tamiya.com/english/nurn2005/index.htm
1/24 Alpine Renault A110 '71 Monte Carlo
1/24 Porsche 911 Turbo '88
1/24 Calsonic Impul Z
1/12 Yamaha YZR-M1 '04
Upgrade Kit - Front Forks for above bike
1/12 Yamaha YZR-500 GP Racer (Re-issue)

Their new Work Stand looks interesting, with a good light. Might get one, but it's a bit small...

Revell: http://www.revell.de/typo3/en/products/model_kits/toy_fair_nuremberg_2005/index.html?&L=1

New Star Wars kits 'announced', but no details (not Automotive, but I could be interested...)
New Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

Most of this was known before Nuremburg, which was a bit disappointing. I've got a friend visiting on his way back from Nuremburg on Tuesday, so I'll try to get a bit more info on other products which may come in.

Of course - other items could be released still, there are a couple of days left, so who knows.

In general, from an model automotive standpoint, the big toy shows are a disappointment.
