I'm not 100% certain what I'll be build as I don't have any Tamiya kits in the stash (soon to be rectified). However I suspect it might be this one...
I've heard such good things about these new modern Tamiya kits that I'd love to give one a go.
I've not ordered it yet but, I've been given a wedge of cash from my Mother in Law to get myself something for Christmas and this may well be it. I might also do a bit of 1/48 armour as well.
Cheers!

Tamiya 1/48 armor is great stuff! And it’s nice to have stuff in the same scale as aircraft kits. It’s just a shame that they have barely scratched the surface of modern AFVs and Softskins. That is a HUGE untapped market.

That is why I'm thrilled to be building in 1/72 scale for aircraft and armor. Still, I'm sure eventually things will pick up for 1/48 scale guys.
Stuart, I highly recommend Tamiya 1/48 scale armor as well. Yes, I did build one once: it was the Tamiya Komatsu Bulldozer that I built for someone as a commission for his Guadalcanal wargame . If you don't choose armor, then that Lightning would be a fantastic choice for this Group Build.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.
