Tamiya Incorporated (株式会社タミヤ, Kabushiki gaisha Tamiya) is a Japanese manufacturer of plastic model kits, radio-controlled cars, battery and solar powered educational models, sailboat models, acrylic and enamel model paints, and various modelling tools and supplies. The company was founded by Yoshio Tamiya in Shizuoka, Japan, in 1946.
The company has gained a reputation among hobbyists of producing models of outstanding quality and accurate scale detail. The company's philosophy is reflected directly in its motto: "First in quality around the world". Tamiya's metal moulds are produced from plans with the concept of being "easy to understand and build, even for beginners". Even the box art is consistent with this throughout the company. Tamiya has been awarded the Modell des Jahres (Model of the Year) award, hosted by the German magazine ModellFan.
Products currently commercialized by Tamiya include (toy and collectibles): scale plastic model cars, aircraft, military vehicles, motorcycles, figurines, radio-controlled cars, trucks, and tanks. Tamiya also produces materials and tools, including enamel paints, acrylic paints, airbrushes, aerosol paint, and marker pens.

My dad use to have Tamiya cars before but he had it when he was still young
Crazy collection. I only have 4 cars but like you I have my original Big Wig from '89. Finding parts for it is so hard.

4 is an awesome collection.. At some point, you stop owning your collection and your collection starts owning you! Thanks for watching the video and leaving a comment 👍
You have quiet a collection both built and unbuilt! Lots and lots of work getting them all back inside and cleaned up for being on display! I have to go through all mine and do a good wipe down of everything, I am both looking forward to it and not looking forward to it at the same time!! Thanks for the walk through and it was a perfect time to do it!

If you set the cars on their chassis, the tires won't deform and crack while the age, and the suspension arms won't say. Simple small cardboard boxes would do the trick, or, cardboard tubes, or blocks of wood, etc.

Epic 🤩 thanks for sharing. I'm a little frustrated as I haven't seen a proper Hotshot II (It was my 1st and only 1/10 Tamiya car back in the 80's); maybe it's hiding somewhere 😊

I have one, but it is in pieces waiting on a couple of key bits. I reckon a re-release will be coming pretty soon 🤔
Great collection man, thanks for the tour! Seeing the likes of you, and Keith over at rc icons makes me feel a lot better about my own modest collection! 🤣 Something kinda special about Tamiya box art that dates all the way back to the early eighties don't ya think?! It always makes me feel like I'm just ten years old again! 🤣 One thing I don't envy you on though is the amount of dusting you have to do there.... as we all know shelf queens are dust magnets! 🤣 👍 👍 👍

Hahaha.. They sure are! I am CONSTANTLY dusting! My Dad and i used to work on Tamiya cars together and run them at the park when i was a Kid.. He passed away over 20 years ago, so when i really miss him, i pull out a NIB and start building. It really feels like he is next to me, assisting and guiding me as i go... He always did the dampers, i hated those 🤣🤣 Thanks for watching the video and leaving a comment 👍

@@tamiya_australia Very sorry to hear of your father's passing, sounds as though you have some awesome memories of the Tamiya time you both spent together though. What a fitting way to remember him, I'm sure he is still there with you spiritually guiding you through the damper construction! 😉 👍 👍 👍

impressive collection for sure - but i do have to ask why? the maintenance bill and time for upkeep would be significant. i struggle to justify and maintain 10 RCs down from 15 from all categories

That's a good question.. I have been collecting since i was 8 or 9 and just really never stopped.. My Dad and I used to build them together. He passed away a long time ago, so everytime I build or repair a car, it kind of feels like he is there with me...
