Toyoda Model AA

Toyota has become a major player in the global auto industry, but like other manufactures it had humble beginnings. Tamiya recreates Toyota's first "production" car known as the Model AA, which was built by the automobile section of the Toyoda Automatic Loom Works company. The Model AA was their first production car, released in 1936 and as it was still an internal department of Toyoda, this car bears the unfamiliar "-da" ending to the brand name (in 1937 the automobile division became an individual entity and changed to the Toyota name still used today). The Model AA was sold as a domestically designed and produced competitor to U.S.-made cars, its stylish and flowing body mounted on a ladder frame and the whole package powered by a 3.4-liter inline-6 engine. Around 1,400 AAs rolled out of the factory over its 6 years of production, an important first step in the making of the Toyota brand.

1/24 Scale cars

This series provides both the car fan and modeller a huge range of exciting subject from the automotive world.

The 1/24 scale range includes vehicles from the race track as well as many iconic road cars.

Each cars' unique form and styling is replicated complete with engine, suspension and interior detail.

This range is the perfect starting point for car fans to build their favourite cars from the past 40 years. Cars include the Morris Mini Cooper and Lotus Super Seven right through to the awesome current day Nissan GT-R and McLaren Mercedes SLR.

As with all Tamiya items, instructions are clear and concise, which allows the modeller to build a 1/24th scale car with ease. Many of the components such as the bodywork are already finished in the base colours; making painting optional and therefore ideal for the first time modeller.

Paint and the required modelling glue for these kits available seperately.
