Release a new 1/72 Blackbird scale model kit

To:  Tamiya

This petition is designed to encourage the Tamiya to release a completely new good quality injection-moulded tooling of the Lockheed Blackbird series of Mach 3 reconaissance jets. Yes, there are quite a few kits already out there, but on close inspection none do the Blackbird justice in terms of accuracy.
The A-12 has never been kitted correctly, and the YF-12 by Italeri is a feeble attempt. Even Hasegawa's SR-71 leaves alot to be desired, and we doubt very much that they would consider a retool. (For a full review of these kits, please visit our site at http://www.72scale.com/aircraft/Lockheed/SR-71.htm). So it falls on Tamiya, arguably the best kit producer in the world, to come to the rescue. The Blackbird is an incredibly famous and popular aircraft, and was one of the most recogniseable silhouettes in the sky when it flew. It would easily have to be one of the most popular kit subjects ever made.

If you would like to see Tamiya do this amazing aircraft justice, please take a moment to sign our petition.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
