Tamiya 1/6 scale models
6 years 1 month ago - 6 years 1 month ago
I am sure many of you have them. I just stumbled on the KZ1300 model photos and they look superb! And that 1/6 engine scale model looks fantastic in photos. Are they really that good? Can I see some?
Found this video on youtube. Looking very good!

The Tamiya 1/6th models are fantastic quality. The "other" brands 1/8th - not so much.
You do need a good eye and steady hand to attend to the detail on the Tamiya model kits.
I have all 3 Tamiya KZ/Z1300 kits on display collecting dust and another set of 3 in my attic that I'm saving for my retirement - I suspect my eyes will have deteriorated too much and my hands will shake too much to complete them.

That's a little surreal seeing parts of a bike you recognise, but in miniature

These models, the engine, look freakishly real! I wonder what it took to make them. 3D scanning? I think these were not made yesterday though. Great detail. They are 1/6 scale. I'd love to have one that's 1/4. Half size would be probably a bit too big for an average enthusiast, but I bet they would sell a lot!

One I built a few years ago - took a few months over the winter but nice kit and very accurate in details!
