It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Tamiya Chairman, Shunsaku Tamiya, age 90 His unfaltering vision and passion has truly shaped not only the Hobby industry, but many outside it too. Tamiya President, Mr N Tamiya will continue to drive and shape Tamiya's future.

The versatile @arctictrucks AT37, a robust go-anywhere vehicle capable of tacking the most demanding of terrain. It also makes a rather fantastic @Popbangcolour art studio! #toyotauk #popbangcolour #tamiya #GoodwoodFOS
