Tamiya will be announcing a new 1/24 scale Toyoda Model AA which was the companies first car in 1936. Truly a historic and iconic automobile from a bygone age.

Interesting esp " included with highly-realistic driver figure."
I wonder which old driver figure they reproduce or if it is a new sculpt.
i watched a scale plastic figure crawl along the edge . . . of an exacto blade . . . that's my dream , it's my nightmare . . . . . . . crawling , slithering . . . . . along the edge . . . . . . of an exacto . . . . . blade . . . . and surviving

Very intersting, very interesting indeed. A must have. Not enough 1/24 scale figures available, so even if it should be a re-release of an older figure, I'll applaud it anyway. Thanks for the heads up Jim

I wondered when I built the 1/35 scale kit if they would follow with the hard top. It is an elegant looking car, and the details are spruced up for this release.
Great nations do not fall because of external aggression; they first erode and decay inwardly, so that, like rotten fruit, they fall of themselves. The strength of a country is the sum total of the moral strength of the individuals in that country.
