TAMIYA Gekko Type 11 Late Production

It was to be another long-range harassment of the Japanese outpost of Rabaul, New Britain Island. In the early hours of May 21, 1943, the B-17 Flying Fortresses of the 43d Bombardment Group moved inland, putting themselves in range of Japanese fighters. The gunners scanned the darkness of the night sky for enemy aircraft, but it seemed clear. Then, just before the bomb run could begin, enemy fire pierced the underbelly of the bomber and struck the engines, sending the B-17 crashing into the sea. The fatal shots came from the 20mm guns of fixed-angle, oblique-firing system mounted on a Japanese "Gekko" (Moonlight) night fighter, that the US would later name, "Irving". Its development goes back to 1938, when the Japanese Navy was planning a twin-engine fighter to support its long-range bombers. The aircraft was required to be capable of higher speeds and longer range than the "Zero", and equal to it in terms of maneuverability. The Nakajima Company brought forward a prototype, the 13-Shi Twin-engine Land-Based Fighter (J1N1), which used two 1000hp "Sakae" engines, one on each of its sturdy main wings. Since it proved inferior to single-engine fighters of the time, it was adopted as a Type 2 Land-based Reconnaissance Aircraft (J1N1-R). However, the need to counter the nocturnal B-17 bombers in the Southwest Pacific led to its conversion into a night-fighter. This transformation came about by positioning the armaments to fire at an oblique angle from the line of flight, allowing the fighters to swiftly strike the bombers while maintaining a parallel course and speed with a target either above or below.

The Type 99 20mm No. 2 Fixed Machine Guns were mounted obliquely on the Gekko. These fearsome weapons could be loaded with about 100 bullets each (but usually, only 90 were loaded due the rigidity of the springs). Two of these guns were mounted on the upper fuselage and two on the lower fuselage for a total of four. However, there were some aircraft with three guns on top but without the lower guns.

TAMIYA M20 Armored Utility Car

A derivative of the U.S. M8 Light Armored Car Greyhound, the U.S. M20 Armored Utility Car rolled onto the battlefield in 1943. The rotating turret of the M8 was removed, allowing space for passenger seats, a commanders table, radio sets and a ring mounted M2 heavy machine gun. The M20 was mainly deployed to the Tank Destroyer Unit, where its top speed of about 90km/h was taken advantage of in command, cargo, and reconnaissance duties.

TAMIYA 1/48 P-51D & U.S.STAFF CAR

Tamiya"s 1/48 scale North American P-51D Mustang is widely considered by aviation model enthusiasts as the most accurate and well-engineered scale model kit of this aircraft. This critically acclaimed aircraft kit has now been packaged together with a new 1/48 scale Military Miniature Staff Car to add another element to the models display possibilities.

When the U.S. formally entered WWII in 1941, its automobile industry was called upon by President Roosevelt to become the "Arsenal of Democracy." Detroit responded by halting new car development and changing its assembly lines to churn out tanks, planes, and other war equipment. The 4-door sedan selected for use as a military staff car was the last new car model available
until the end of hostilities in 1945. It featured distinctive "suicide" rear doors, V8 engine, and had a fuel-fired heater in the passenger compartment.

Combination set containing 1/48 scale assembly kit models of the North American P-51D Mustang and staff car.
Existing P-51D kit (ITEM 61089) parts used, with brand new sprues included for pilot figure and fuel tanks, as well as 3 types of new markings.
The staff car is the first of its kind in this scale, and the new moldings accurately reproduce its rounded body and distinctive bulbous fenders.
Staff car also features die-cast chassis to give it an additional sense of volume.

TAMIYA 1/48 DAMBUSTER/GRAND SLAM

This aircraft also known as the "Grand Slam Bomber", was powered by four Rolls Royce Merlin engines, and was used by the English Royal Air Force in bombing raids against Germany. Approximately 7,377 units were built. The Avro Lancaster B Mk.I/III specifications are as follows: Length: 21.18m, Width: 31.10m, Weight: 33.11t, Power source: Four Rolls Royce Merlin engines (1480-1640hp) The Tamiya model assembly kit faithfully captures this piece of WWII aircraft history.

Tamiya 1/48 GRUMMAN F-14D TOMCAT

Following on from our successful 1/48 model of the F-14A in 2016, Tamiya is delighted to announce a new Tomcat in the 1/48 Aircraft Series: the F-14D, an updated version of the aircraft that served until the Tomcat was withdrawn from Navy service in 2006.

It featured an improved engine in the shape of the General Electric F110, and the aircraft’s transition from the earlier carrier-based fighter models to the F-14D multi-role aircraft was facilitated by digital updates to radar and fire control systems.

Some F-14Ds were newly-constructed, while conversions from F-14As also existed. Take this chance to add a multi-role legend to your collection of 1/48 scale aircraft models!

TAMIYA 32550 German Sd.Kfz.250/3 Greif - 1/48

Tamiya's 1/48 MM Series has come a long way! Our 50th assembly kit model in this series is the German Sd.Kfz.250/3 Greif with its unique roof-mounted radio antenna.

Produced by DEMAG, the Sd.Kfz.250 series of light half-tracks were versatile vehicles which served in a large variety of roles. Featuring 4 road wheel axles, it had better all-terrain mobility than the armored cars that it replaced. the Sd.Kfz.250/3 variant was a command vehicle equipped with long-range radio equipment for communications. This distinguishing feature of this variant was the unique frame-type radio antenna mounted on the roof of the half-track. Used by high level commanders, this AFV was notable for being the personal mount of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in the North Africa front.
