SUBARU FANS WATCH THIS! We hope this post-Christmas vid will delight anyone who is into this iconic Japanese auto brand.
David Jefferis: The BRZ two-seater in particular has gained many thumbs-ups and awards, not least for its classic simplicity, which makes it pretty much a driver's car, on a par with another Japanese sportster, the Mazda MX-5.
As for the kit shown here, well, it's a Tamiya model, so that means a beautifully executed kit that's a pleasure to built. Our current festive project is constructing a resin garage-build of a 1:24 scale steam locomotive, and that means a massive difference in the quality, fit and finish of the components.
Mind you, Tamiya has been in the game for many years, having been founded by Yoshio Tamiya in Shizuoka, Japan, in 1946. The company rapidly gained a reputation for producing outstanding quality models, with superbly accurate detail. The founding philosophy is reflected by a simple motto: First in quality around the world, while the kits are still being easy enough to build for beginners to stay in the game. Tamiya has won plenty of awards down the years, including Model of the Year from the excellent German publication ModellFan.
Thanks to PLASMO plastic models for the vid.
