Sadly i agree there is a low chance it is auto.

Been a long time since a 1/32 aircraft, so that is my guess. F-14 would be the holy grail, but i think they let the 48th version settle a little more before going big. Perhaps a 350th nimitz class carrier.

Ferrari license being expired doesn't mean it won't be renewed... Makes no sense to keep a deal going all of the time when no new product is coming.

But tamiya has already done a F-14 in 32nd scale.

I heard a few months back that the next 32nd scale kit from big T could be a P-38 I heard this after the 48th scale release. Doesn't make a whole lot of since to me that they would do that. I fancy the idea of them releasing the Lancaster from WNW like mentioned earlier. :D

I would like to see the Collector Club Porsche GT as a kit. Or any of the Ferrari’s. But that’s not a new kit.

The Porsche Carrera GT and the Ferrari Enzo already available as 1/12 kits - relased years ago.

I like his videos but he has a tendancy to do click bait like this at points to get views so I'm not getting excited. Last year he did a video about how Youtube was going to issue restrictions on the videos he made and was freaking out about it...in a video. It was never the intention of the change Youtube was discussing and after the change didn't occur, he made another video about the change not occurring. He posted the first warning video in a model car group I'm on on facebook and blocked me when I said it wasn't going to be a problem like he was saying.

I'm sure its something that will be impressive, but I'm not going to speculate until we have some more concrete information.

Love the call on a 1/32 Bf-109G but I'm gonna say a 1/32 P-51B. Most of the tooling is done with the amazing P-51D and the B model is sorely needed.

Weren’t those partially built kits? If so, I meant fully unbuilt kits.
