Tamiya Plastic Models and Hobby Supplies

Tamiya is a globally recognized leader in the hobby industry, renowned for its high-quality plastic model kits, radio-controlled (R/C) vehicles, and specialized hobby tools. Established shortly after World War II, the brand built its reputation on meticulous accuracy and ease of assembly, revolutionary for its time. Their product lineup expanded significantly from wooden models to plastic kits and eventually into the iconic 'Mini 4WD' series and high-performance R/C racing cars.

While the company's research, development, and high-end manufacturing remain centered at its headquarters in Shizuoka, Japan, a significant portion of its production has shifted to its massive manufacturing facility in Cebu, Philippines. This allows the brand to maintain its legendary quality control while meeting global demand. The brand remains a family-owned entity, preserving its heritage and commitment to 'First in Quality Around the World.'
