No.
No, sir.
It's not 1/24 scale & I did not put it together after painting the individual parts myself.
Tamiya? Minicar?
I know, right? WTH, but here it is.
I actually had this car for looong time. I bought this + R32 Skyline on eBay in my earlier days of collecting. In Japan, Tamiya is a powerhouse brand in toy shops & model shops. But even then, I think it's only in regards to plastic models, RC's(remote control) & Mini Yonku... Mini 4WD. I don't know what they call them in the international market, but they are little motorized buggy cars that race on tracks.
Tamiya certainly put in the effort here....... but Kyosho; the rival RC brand, actually committed to this segment, and I think Tamiya's inexperience really show. This car is bit rough around the edges.
Still, it's black Supra. I'll take what I can get when it comes to this one. While it's a very popular JDM car, I've never seen one from the premium brands like Kyosho & TLV. Maybe another obscure brand like Tamiya has/had them on the market, but if they did, I've never seen it. Pics:
Off-road tires amirite.
One of my favorite things on this car: Taillights.
Doors open also, but I think so little of opening doors I didn't even think to take pictures of them. My bad.
Majorette's casting isn't bad, but this seems to be the best in quality between it, Majorette and Matchbox.
ReplyDeleteI have zero knowledge on Majorette, but they are kinda close to the mainline level quality, right? I have the MBX one with rubber tires, and it is atrocious: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/1-64-model-collectors-thread.118323/page-1251#post-10548793
DeleteWhile looking for that, I ran into your post in the same GTPlanet thread. It was Aoshima Itasha Supra. lmao
