By On · 2 Comments

Welcome to Part 3 of our Tamiya Museum series… Hope you enjoyed part 2′s pictures. Now we’re getting to the good stuff! Here’s a few shots of some of Tamiya’s first rc cars including the one that started the whole journey off for Tamiya, the 58001 Porsche 934 Turbo RSR, a very rare model now indeed.

One of my favourites now. The life-size, 1:1 Sand Scorcher replica, a full size custom built version costing a whopping £50,000+, unveiled at the Nuremberg toy fair in 2010 to commemorate the re-release of the original 58016 Sand Scorcher off road RC car kit as model number 58452.
