Well I just got an issue of Scale Aviation Modeller that has the new kit report in it for 2003. they list as coming soon the P47D which we all already know about. the second kit is the B-17. No info on what version. I don't think a major magazine such as this would risk printing such information if this were not true. So if they are correct I'm sure looking forward to that one.

What scale? 1/48?
That's the rumor.

If I'm not mistaken, I've seen this announcement in "print" before but I've yet to see it from Tamiya. Until then, it's just another nikce rumor.
B-17: $ ?
I'll bet >100 U.S.

Let me guess, you're new to Scale Aviation Modeller aren't you? ;) Being wrong is pretty much their stock in trade.
I guess SAM has bought into one of the older rumours on the net. Someone correct me if I am mistaken but haven't they mentioned this rumour before in their mag? This particular rumour has been around for at least six years. The earliest reference I could find on google in a quick search was in the fall of
1997. It gets new life every six months or so when someone who hadn't heard it before asks about it online and a whole new generation of it is born. Who knows it may happen, but I'm not going to hold my breath.John Benson ------------------------ IPMS El Paso Web Guy
I have never seen Tamiya or any magazine mention a 1/48 B-17 before. Tamiya does play it close to the vest at all times these days. Wonder if Scott Hards knows anything? He seems to know stuff most of the time. as for me I like the idea of a decent B-17 but I would have rather seen something never done in
1/48. My choice if I were Tamiya would have been the Halifax. Just my 2 cents.Mike
I'm still waiting for the 1/700 Kirov that Skywave was to release in 1988 as per FSM......Joe

Perhaps with Panda/Trumpeter threatening a 1/32 B-17 someone confused rumors.

Huh? What? Is this true? I'll buy one!

Well it's been said enough times, even from potential importer.
Frankly, I wish Airfix had released the 1/24 Mosquito.
I wanna know when Tamiya is gonna get on the ball and do a 1/32 scale P-51. They did such a great job on the Zero and I'm sure a 51 would sell like the proverbial "Hotcakes"

P-51? I'm waiting for an F3F or F6F myself.
OK, I know...it's going to be a long wait.

What, the old Revell F3F doesn't work for ya?
was there any "official" reason why Airfix stopped the 1/24 line? I remember the 109 being around in the early 70's..

geez, I have 8 RevMo B-17's in the attic. Gonna be hard to explain why I need a $100 + version when the ones I have only cost around $20 each...
