Tamiya was founded, in 1946 as a saw and lumber,company, thay first started to produce plastic scale model kits,in 1960,great kits .

Tamiya is why I've been model building since the 1970s!😊

I have built plenty of Tamiya's kits in my time, and that 1/32 Spitfire VII is gorgeous, but they all have been good. The 1/48 military vehicles are great builds between more complicated projects, and the figures (minifigures as my grandson calls them) are exquisite. I build them , and my grandson sets up little dioramas with them. Just waiting for a 1/48 DUKW.

We all love Tamiya ❤

Here in Detroit love TAMIYA and YOUR show Limey!

Nice one Pete....love that 48th Mossie!

My father was the chief inspector of the F-14 for over two decades. Among other aircraft’s by Grumman.

Another fantastic review of Tamiya . You have some fantastic builds. I look forward to your next video.

What an introduction Peter, just WOW

Oh dear, I love the Italaeri AFVs. Excellent kits and reasonable pricing.

Cool beard my friend. Looking good. Oh phone call.

The 1970s 1/12 car kits have stood the test of time. I built the original Jagermeister Porsche 934 and Ferrari 312T4, have built the rerelease of the 934 from a few years ago in the Vaillant colours (and Tamiya released the spray can cobalt green to go with it), and have the Martini 935 in the cupboard.

The Tomcat was one of the most best modelling experiences I have had. I did not have to worry about fit. I could focus on the finish. Their 48th F-4 Phantom was an even better experience. Better than the Tomcat too.

Tamiya gonna be good 👍.

I love Tamiya kits but I don't like the way they simplify their smaller aircraft kits, but it does at least make them quick builds unless you want to improve them. I always find it strange that there are some people that say they won't build a Tamiya kit because they are too easy 😂 What because the parts actually fit like they are designed to? Sure I can make bad fitting kits fit with enough time, but that's not what I get enjoyment out of, so the better a kit fits, the better and I can spend that time adding extra detail etc.

I have that Harrier kit. Got it a couple of years ago before read about all the issues with it. I guess I will put the unopened kit in a shadow box and mount it on the wall in the horror museum section. Tamiya is actually "Shake and Make". Nice review of Tamiya overall.

The only Tamiya kit I binned out of shear frustration

Thought provoking Peter👍. Great to get my own thoughts going on why model and Tamiya. What magic can they do more I'm thinking when I hear that they haven't done any magic in recent years. A 1/48 P-40 in similar fashion to the bf-109G-6 would do me, desert air force of course😄 Oh and a closed cab 1/35th GMC truck

Hi Peter, You're RC166 is an absolute stunner, what a fantastic job and the finished bike looks so realistic. Superb :)
