We travel around the USA and see some fascinating works-of-art and know you have put all your talent into finishing our products. Tamiya products are known to be "Quality around the World" but our builders are some of the hardest workers!

Any builder knows that the long hours, weeks & months, spent building your masterpiece is only half the fun. The other half is showing it off. Regardless whether it's a static model that's a conversation piece when company is over, or its your favorite R/C ripping up the track with other drivers, Tamiya America, Inc. would like to thank you for your support by giving you another way to show off your hard work.

Tamiya's body design engineers have gone the extra mile to bring one of Tamiya's most detailed polycarbonate body's to the market. Tamiya's polycarbonate body's are produced using metal 3-piece slide mold technology, which result in unrivaled detail and accuracy not found from any other manufacture. The LaFerrari has so many sharp lines and details, it's not possible to faithfully reproduce it for RC enthusiasts without using 3-piece mold technology.
