58500 series kits
Begining of a new era with both spectacular re-releases and totally new models.
As for the re-releases, Tamiya reloads the Blitzer Beetle, Supershot, Wild One and Super Clod Buster. But the most unexpected were undoubtely the re-releases of the mythical Bruiser with its legendary 3 Speed gearbox, as well as the Avante and Egress'.
Among the totally new items, a very big surprise was the Racing Master series come back. The RM-01 chassis comes with period bodyshells such as the Toyota Tom's 84C and Porsche 956 Newman, probably to remind everyone how much the 1/12th scale pan-car category was important at least during the first half of the 80's RC history.
After 10 years of duty, the world-famous TT-01 chassis is replaced with a successor. Well-born as it seems, the TT-02 too will have to represent most of Tamiya's production volumes and sales for the next years.
The biggrin is back too with Willy's character holding the wheel of several new fun models.
On some models, links will lead you to more detailed articles.
