Subject: 2002 All-japan Model Show 1 of 2 Date: Sat, 19 Oct 2002 01:09:21 -0700 (PDT) From: Peter Reply-To: peter@travelwithyourkids.com To: "Steel Navy \(no size limit\)" , cadman Guys, I don't have time to write much, but attached are some shots from the 2002 All-Japan Model and R/C Show. This show is second to the Shizuoka Show, but still a great place to see what the Japanese makers are up to. Special note: the **entire** Waterline series in one place, the 1/35 scale CWIS from AFV (not in stores until early 2003), the resin Pitroad Arizona and new Hasegawa. The (sort of) bad news: the trend seems to be heavily in favor of R/C: small cars for the kids, big tanks for the Dads. In plastic it is planes, planes, planes and then cars and tanks. Few new ships. No sign of the once-mentioned Tamiya WWII-era Iowa's. Best wishes, Peter __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
