As well as that we have our usual whats new in the modelling

world and of course mail call.

We recently received an advanced copy of the M72 Gabriel in 1/48 scale from Moscato Hobby Models. Anthony did an inbox review of this fantastic looking kit.    

G'day Benchers!  We are recording this in lockdown here in Oz, and as such it is against the current rules to have more than two people in the house who don’t normally live here so Julian is coming in via a hook-up.  So we are chatting about what we are doing in this strange and historic time.

As well as that we have our usual whats new in the modelling

world and of course mail call.

To our valued customers.

The TAMIYA USA webstore has re-opened. It is our sincerest hope that you and your loved ones are safe and sound during these extradentary times in our nation and planet. We realize that all of you, including all the staff at Tamiya America, Inc., are spending most of our time at home adhering to various “Safer at Home” orders and recommendations across the county.

We realize a lot of our fans are looking to build new projects and finish projects they have started. The Tamiya website is here for our fans who are unable to get to their favorite local store to fill your modeling and R/C building needs. Our employees will remain at home until the order has been lifted. A good portion of them are finally getting to build some of their own Tamiya projects. Furthermore, our Customer Service Department continue to be available Monday-Friday to answer email inquiries at usa_support for general product inquires, web-order questions, and product advice.

Be safe everyone. Be kind, enjoy the at home activities, and by all means share your Tamiya model and Radio Control projects on our Facebook and Instagram pages! We want to see how you’re passing the time.

This is Tamiya America’s newly finished display sample of the 1/16 R/C Sheridan tank! Staff members from our office built this kit and painted the basic green color paint job. However, the finished build seen here was completely finished and weathered by renowned and published model builder Jim Wechsler!

Jim took our basic build and added his renowned flare to give this tank a true to life look and feel.

Enjoy these fun pics from Jim’s makeshift photo booth in his home work room!
