Tamiya have always been so good at capturing the essence of the full-size subject.
The re-release of the F150 Ranger XLT reminds us of what happens when scale model detail meets RC engineering.

Ford Ranger returns end of May.

Lovely to hold out our hand to welcome Mike Brewer to HQ.

Arriving this week.
Demand has been huge for the 934, 50th Anniversary Edition.

The 1/12 Yamaha RZV500R returns with a newly added B5-size double-sided pamphlet with colour photos of the full-size bike for painting reference and updated instruction manuals.

Comes with usual Tamiya detail and includes photo-etched parts.

YPVS is still a very cool and evocative abbreviation to bike fans growing up in the '80's!

New Quirkhopper arriving soon.
Following the Squash Van the Quirkhopper is the second item model paired with the gear-driven 4WD GF-02 chassis.

The insect-like buggy body should look in place in the wild on dirt, gravel and over jumps. Rock 'n Hop!
