A B-17 would be a nice addition to the Tamiya inventory
Seen an interview with Mr. Tamiya and he said : why spend money on good decals for the kit when most people just throw them away in favour of aftermarket decals.
That's WHY people throw them out in favour of aftermarket decals
Tamiya short Sunderland!
I'd love to see a P-40 Warhawk.
Beautiful P-38H build! I would love to see Tamiya do a 1/48 B-26 Marauder. All we have is the old Monogram kit.
Larger scale MARAUDER is long overdue
I am hoping Tamiya will release the P-38J model in 1:48 since they now have the E/F/G models already. I would especially love to see Tamiya release a 1:48 B-26 Marauder. That airplane is an under loved beauty. It would be a nice unique addition to the 1:48 WWII bomber lineup.
looks cool
yeah it does
The best models are the ones in one piece. Jokes aside, amazing work as always!
Always great to see your notification pop up!
Beautiful build - thank you for showing in detail the base coating and mottling portion of the painting process. It does really change the whole appearance in terms of the look you were going for
love the p38, it looks amazing! id love to see tamiya retool the fw190d9, and also come out with their own line of 1/72 bombers, but id be happy just with a b24
Beautiful build
What a great kit, the chipping and exhaust are spot on.
This kit is on my Christmas wish list. You did a fabulous job on it, really setting out an easy to follow blueprint for those of us yet to build it.
I’m actually planning to build it for my first competition as an adult, in Omaha next summer.
Great video! I really want to pick this kit up, but right now the price tag is a bit steep.
As for a Tamiya wish list, I'd love to see F6F Hellcat and an F-86 Sabre.
It is steep, but it's an awesome kit.
I'll pay for this tremendous engineered model.. bravo!
Very nice looking work!
Very cool build, looks absolutely incredible
Excellent video & job building your Tamiya P-38H Lightning! I sure would like to see Tamiya make a 1/48 F7F Tigercat.
I would really like if Tamiya decided to release the early Skyhawk family in 1:48.
BEAUTIFUL BUILD!!!!! Sweet!!!
I did this kit. It is flawless. Save the landing gear supports etc for last . I broke them off cuz I’m clumsy.
Great looking build. I just purchased a cricut and going to paint Israeli Suez Canal crisis markings on a 1/48 eduard p 51.
I would love if Tamiya released a Mirage III in 1/48 or 1/32
Fantastic work
Great show, very informative!!!! By the way, I want to see Tamiya do their version of a 1/48 scale TBF Avenger. It's about time for a new tooling of this amazing torpedo bomber. I would add, for 1/32, a P-40B Tomohawk, in Flying Tiger markings and British 112 Squadron markings in North Africa. It would be stunning!!!! Again, great show and happy modeling!!!!
Thanks dude! A 1/48 Avenger would be nice. The Accurate Minature one still holds up today with great interior details and fit. Academy is popping those out still
@@TheModelGuy It would be second best if Tamiya was to do one. I bet they would throw some great engineering at it and wonderful instructions and it would be a masterpiece, right out of the box. You might have to source your own decals though, lol!!!
I would like to see a P-3C from Tamiya. Hasegawa has taken a couple of runs at the Orion, but I think Tamiya could knock it out of the park with details in the bomb bay and wheel wells. Even in 1/72.
Would like to see a Tamiya 1/48 Northrop F-5 A/B/D/E/F (CF-5 A/D). Maybe they could even do a T-38 out of the same kit.
As for finding kits there is Wheels and Wings in Toronto. They stock many kits and niche products that others do not. They have much more than their online store shows. However you have to deal with the dreaded Canada post cost on top.
I would love Tamiya to release a 1/48 F-16I.
Bravo sir.. awesome work as always. I would like to see the Grumman Avenger by tamiya!
Really nice mate
😉👌
I would love to see Tamiya produce a 1/32 B-1.
Agree best 48th AC kit overall...🤗
Tamiya is Awesome, the P47 in 48th was the previous best I think...
Nice build!
As planes go, i would love to see Tamiya do a 1/72 scale of the B-47. The Hasegawa kit is a tad long in the tooth. Time for a new one.
I really hope they release the photo recon variant. I really wish to make the one flown by st Exupery
...one aircraft kit from Tamiya ? - EASY. a 1:32 Hawker Hurricane (series), a massively significant type, criminally ignored in this scale.
All the best from New Zealand.
Great looking machine
Nice fighter plane turbo prop
Nice looking p38 🍻
Absolutely loved the history of the airplane while watching the build.First time I have watched one of your videos and am very impressed.
Thanks Dean, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome mate - great stuff!
What’s the brand of your jig?
I would like to see Tamiya come out with a 1/48 scale B-25.
The market is definitely lacking a decent -25. Do you hear that Tamiya?...and even ICM?
Very nice build and paint job! Which OD Green did you use for the final top coat? Thnx
1/48 A-10 redo please in the SEA camo...thank you in advance Tamiya. Brilliant work as usual, on the wait list for the Phantom?
I want to see Tamiya's take on the B-17 and B-24
Tamiya needs to make a 1/48 B-17!!!!!
I don't see them putting that effort into something that complex. Their Lancaster is still decent for how old it is, but I don't think their new level of engineering would meld with it. The amount of money to develop it would be nuts and after Wingnut Wings went tits up doing a bomber I think the other manufacturers took a close look to see why it failed.
I tried to order from Hobbynut and they said that they don't ship to BC. Any news on if they will open up shipping to the rest of Canada? I'd love to see Tamiya tackle some more modern subjects. Their A-10 could use an update for example. Their 1/32 F-16 is phenomenal, perhaps they could bring us another modern 1/32 subject.
I think a dauntless or a kingfisher would be cool. Also a Catalina
A 1/48 Catalina with new tooling would get my money. So many cool liveries and post war markings.
I’m with you on the ‘Slow But Deadly’ Dauntless!
I would love to see Tamiya come out with a 1/35 Canadian M113 ADATS unit.
*Wonderful!*
I wanna see Tamiya make something like a Boomerang or an AC-1 Sentinel. If it’s Australian I would certainly get it
I'd love to see a chrome bumper MGB GT or a 1/24 spitfire
Nice work! The P-38 is not an aircraft I have any interest in building myself, but your high praise of the engineering of the kit has me wondering if the new F-4 Tamiya might not be of equal quality. As for your question of what I would like to see Tamiya tackle next, I would want a 1/72 CF-100. There is a less than zero chance this will ever happen, but it is what I would wish for.
I can't see the new F-4 being any worse, but Tamiya seems to improve every kit they release. Their Zero was amazing and my favorite kit until I built this one.
A Clunk would be cool but has no real appeal to anyone who's not Canadian. Too small of a demographic
@@TheModelGuy You are right about the Clunk, but the Belgians flew them and there are areas in Germany and France where they were a familiar sight. Unfortunately, in the UK and the USA the Clunk is virtually unknown and those are two of the largest markets for kits.
@@TheModelGuy But for a plane that would be a winner for Tamiya. I think if they did their own version of a 1/48 or 1/32 Hurricane and not just a re-box of the Italieri kit would be awesome.
Secret Weapons Over Normandy was a PlayStation 2 game was an amazing world war 2 flight simish fighter game wish they would remaster it
I'd like to see Tamiya come out with a 1/48 Hawker Sea Fury. In the late 90s into the late 00s I worked for an Englishman who took part in the Korea War, and he & his brother flew the Sea Furies. I have lots of cool stories about his sorties. Great p-38 btw!
Oh boy that would be awesome. Airfix is the only offering I can get in 1/48 and well…that’s enough said.
Coincidentally that’s the next video!
@@TheModelGuy oh brilliant! Now I'm keen!
Hi, great build. What color black in the cockpit did you use to match the Quinta decals so well? Thanks!
A-6 intruder, or for something out there, a Caribou
You did a really nice job on that P-38, keep them coming and thanks for all the tips. I'm keen to see a 1/48 Lockheed Hudson, Bristol Beaufort both Pacific and European war veterans that have long been forgotten about and not easily available today. Also a maybe 1/48 Fairy Gannet would be good or a Sea Venom. Time to get away from the usual stuff the keeps getting repeated over and over by other model companies.
🍻
I would love Tamiya to do a Hawker Hurricane, a P-40 or a Me 163B Komet
All those things
Great job, what a terrific result! But help - where did you find those awesome stencils for the national insignia and nose number??
I made them with my Silhouette machine and designed them
I'd live to see Israeli versions of Tamiya's new 1/48 Phantom. That would be the F-4E and the Kurnass 2000 modernisation update. Some of the more historically significant Phantoms with different and striking liveries
Would love to see tamiya come out with a hellcat
I heard that there was a statement Tamiya made that it would be insensitive to release a Hellcat. But then with them doing the P-38 I'm sure it was a rumour
Good video, would be nice to know if any weight was added to have it sit on the nosewheel. Any thoughts on the Hobbyboss model of the P38?
This kit has steel bearings that sit in designed spots to hold the nose down. No need for additional weight.
Until this kit, the Academy -38 was considered the most accurate P-38 in 1/48 scale.
A note on the P-38 propeller rotation - all (US) P-38s had counter-rotating propellers, though the British (who gave the P-38 its name) did order them with both propellers rotating in the same direction, as well as less powerful engines without turbosuperchargers - performance was reportedly poor, and the British cancelled their order, which might have bankrupted Lockheed. The problem with the twin engines was that if one was lost on takeoff, the remaining engine could provide enough thrust to overcome the ability of the rudders to "keep the pointy end into the wind." Multi-engine training for fighter pilots was not very good, and the P-38 was by far the most sophisticated (and complicated) fighter aircraft in the inventory, and it took a lot of training and experience to allow the pilots to use the aircraft to its full potential.
One of the biggest problems is the Brits wanted commonality with the P-40 engine for easy maintenance so they stripped off the super chargers. Then bitched about lack of performance.
I guess they redeemed themselves with the Mustang upgrade later on
@@TheModelGuy Yes, the replacement of the engines and superchargers really limited the high altitude performance- logistics in some cases trumps performance. To be fair, at the time the order was placed, fighting was taking place primarily at altitudes where the turbosuperchargers weren't really necessary - but operational altitudes increased rapidly as each side sought an advantage and engine performance increased, so by the time the aircraft were actually ready, they weren't suitable, even though they apparently DID meet the performance specifications in the contract. Supercharger production was pretty limited at the time, so including them might have ended up delaying production even further, and so may have also played a role in the decision to forego them.
Hi Robbie, A really great video really enjoyable.As an aside Check out the book Operation Vengeance-by Dan Hampton(ex USAF F-16 Wild Weasel pilot) published last year it's an interesting read or listen about the mission to shoot down Yamamoto.
Great video, I love the back story and historical discussion.
But
It's " Dee-kals", not the silly thing that you keep saying.
This comes up every few videos. I'm Canadian. Most of us pronounce it the same way I do. The same as Roof.
TAMIYA has already produced the definitive 1/48 P-47D kits (and a P-47M-1, no less!) in both "Razorback" and Bubble Top versions. Now it is high time that some earlier P-47s hit the market. These are, the shorter-nosed, "flat-Keeled" P-47B and the P-47C, now with the longer nose, but 4 less Engine Cooling Flaps than the -Ds, and once again, with the "flat Keel". Many USAAF Aces cut their combat teeth on P-47Cs. Moving ahead in time, we could use a much-improved kit of the P-47N in 1/48th scale. That ACADEMY-thing is getting pretty long in the teeth, if you ask me. Jumping to P-38s, TAMIYA NAILED IT with their F/G and their latest H. NOW we NEED a kit of the J/L- THIS is the one that modelers were anticipating. I personally like the F/G/H-models better, just because the form of these earlier P-38s, I think, are more pure P-38 and truer to Kelly Johnson's original concept of what the Lightning was supposed to be. Also, Photo-Recon and Pathfinder versions, please. And for purists, an original XP-38, a P-38D and E, and also the "castrated" British-cum-USAAF Trainer version, the Lockheed Model 322-B. Are you listening Mr. Tamiya? Not necessarily from TAMIYA, but possibly from the likes of DORA WINGS, how about a 1930s Lockheed Orion, the precursor to the Vega? Possibly from one of the Eastern European makers, what about an XP-67 Moonbat in 1/48th scale? What a wicked-looking airplane that XP-67 was! A PROPER 1/48 F-7F Tigercat and a better 1/48 F8F Bearcat-series might be nice. There are more airplanes buzzing around inside my brain, but the list is too lengthy. And PLEASE EDUARD, give us a rest from all of those Bf.109s. How about a Griffon-Engine Spitfire Mk.XII instead of yet ANOTHER '109..?
I would like to se Tamiya do more Atlantic theatre ships
You said you got the after market guns for P38J from Model Masters? I can’t find them…
I like turbo props
I would like to see Tamiya produce a 1/32 A-10C. Trumpeter’s kit sooooo problematic to assemble. Come on Tamiya!!
Tamiya Hotshot 2, not a model but still a cool old rc
I WISH TAMIYA WOULD DO A BLOCK 3 F-18 HORNET. ...ANYWAY NICE BUILD LOOKS GREAT 👋
I'd like to see Tamiya do a PBY Catalina or a Mariner
How about an Italian Fiat Cr-32 1/48? Ju-188 in 1/48? Douglas C-47 in 1/48?
Especially, the P-38J in 1/48?
Which Tamiya kit? I’d like an S-Tank…
I would like a Tamiya Douglas SBD kit...
What are you using to hold the plane while you're working on it?
It's called the Bench Mate from master models
@@TheModelGuy thanks! Great video. Love the format and looking forward to doing my own p-38.
I'd like Tamiya to do a 1/48, 1/32 F-86, F8F Bearcat, F7F Tigercat
i would like to see them make the Rita bomber than Japan came out with late in the war
Sweeeet!
I want to see tamiya make a 1/48 F6F Hellcat
I'd like to see Tamiya make a 1/48 F-18E Hornet
I'd buy three. Every Hornet kit I have built has been plagued by the same issues. You would think Meng and HobbyBoss would look at the Hasegawa bug to see what didn't work. Rather than keep trying that shit.
My HB Growler is back on the bench now and it's like they went out of their way to over engineer the kit.
I used to have the die cast models but it got donated away
I would like a Tamiya 1/48 P-40N and a Junkers Ju-87G
Both would sell like mad. I'd like a P-40E/N too. The Hasegawa one is nice, but the plug is a pain in the ass
English Electric
Seeing as Tamiya seems to like pacific war aircraft, I'm surprised they never made a Hellcat or P-40 in 1/48
I think with how devastating the Hellcat was to the Japanese in WWII, they may be bitter still.
TAMIYA. Wish list:
some American ww2 bombers.
1/32 fw190 a and fw190 Dora
1/32 p-47 bubble top.
F-86H
A new Sabre would be awesome by Tamiya.
I want an Avro Arrow from Tamiya.
lets goo
I get the feeling that if the world falls apart this guy is still modelling calmly as the world burns and toils in chaos. until.... he loses a piece now that's truly a tragedy
Haha. We still don't know where that Chinese booster is going to land so anything is possible
Never mind, the description exists for a reason lol
Mist it with MLT? Made me think of mutton, lettuce, and tomato. What is this MLT?
Mr Levelling Thinner
At this point I don't care who does it, as long as they do a decent job, but:
1/32 Gripen E
New tool 1/32 P-51B
1/32 Hawker Typhoon
Gimme
What's a deckle??? I have heard of Deeeeeeeecals. Aka Decals.
That’s how some parts of Canada say it
Thichamyia
Your a great modeler but get your facts straight . The p 38 always had counter rotating engines , if you lost a engine on take off then you got the prop torque, that’s what was killing pilots
1 32 MARAUDER
For me, too much talk and not enough explanation of what you are doing or using (paint(s), air brush, mixtures, etc. You make me want to shut the sound off so I can breathe.
All paints used are in the description.
