Note: Some items are not available on our basket site due to highly limited availability.

In January 2005, Tamiya reissued the original 1984 Hornet pretty much completely as it originally was way back when the Apple Mac was freshly launched, Microsoft Windows 1.0 didn't exist and people were getting excited about the brand new talking Austin Maestro from BL! 

Since then we've had the Grasshopper, Lunchbox, Top Force, Frog, Thundershot and more!  We're adding items to this list as they become available.  We are spliting a number of kits to fulfil these parts, but can only split so many so parts will be sourced from our suppliers (usually a 6 week delay) once we run out.  Where a part proves popular (e.g. Lunchbox battery trays, Hornet D Sprue etc etc) we will endeavour to keep good stocks.

Notes on specific cars:

THUNDERSHOT: Please note that the Thundershot manual is a bit of a mess - the part numbers in the diagrams are the original part numbers but the Japanese have changed the numbers as the parts have been slightly revised.  We are showing the number you need to order in the left hand column and in brackets the number shown in the manual.  Yes it's confusing.

FROG: The re-issued Frog has completely different drive shafts, couplings, shock absorbers and a few other minor changes.  Part numbers in the manual are accurate.

MANTA RAY: Manta Ray parts have always been available and are in our main parts lists.  The body for the re-issue model is the only part that we cannot usually supply.

TOP FORCE: Due to the number of expensive "never breaking" parts in this kit, and shortness of supply of the kit itself, it's not viable to split kits down.  We can order all the parts for you with approx 6 weeks lead time.  We will not be able to advise a price in advance - the price will be whatever the UK importer advises us at time of invoice.

 

As the reissue cars have become part of the standard range, we have now at last incorporated the parts for these cars into our standard lists.
