It's always one tool in a sh*tbox who ruins it for the genuine car enthusiasts.

Sad news today: we remember Mr. Shunsaku Tamiya, the visionary founder and long-time chairman of Tamiya, Inc., following his passing. His journey began in 1946, when Tamiya Shoji & Co. was founded as a sawmill in Shizuoka, Japan. By 1948, under his leadership, the company had pivoted to crafting high‑quality wooden model kits—and it never looked back.

Over the decades, Mr. Tamiya transformed a modest model‑making firm into a global icon. Under his vision in the 1960s and ’70s, Tamiya launched its first plastic kit in 1960, introduced motorised 1:35 tanks in 1962, and ignited the R/C boom in 1976 with the cult‑favorite 1/12 Porsche 934 Turbo. In 1977, he became president of Tamiya Plastic Model Co., then led Tamiya, Inc. as chairman since 2008—continuing to champion the motto “First in Quality Around the World”.

For me personally, it all started at age 9 with a Tamiya Frog—the little R/C that lit the fuse for my lifelong obsession with cars, racing, and building. That toy wasn’t just plastic—it was a gateway to passion. It sparked creativity, technical curiosity, and a love for the thrill of speed.

Mr. Tamiya didn’t just build model kits—he built bridges to imagination, craftsmanship, and dreams around the world. His legacy lives on, not only in every Tamiya kit assembled, but in every enthusiast whose fascination for machines and motion began with one of his creations.

Rest in peace, Mr. Tamiya. Thank you for designing more than models—you designed futures.

When American YouTube channels come to Australia to film Aussie content for their American audience, they always need someone to mount GoPros to tractors 😂
