Tamiya 64304 Tamiya Master Modeller Book

More than a company history, Master Modeler: Creating the Tamiya Style is the story of how a small wooden-model maker in Shizuoka grew into the most respected name in scale modelling. Told through the words of company president Shunsaku Tamiya and translated into English, it traces the company from its earliest days through to the Waterline, F-1 and other lines every modeller knows — a genuinely absorbing read, not just merchandise.
