2025 Super Kids Land Main Store Tamiya World Modelers Contest Winners

The Modelers Contest was held for the first time in six years since 2019. Due to the renovation of the venue, Tamiya World, and changes in the environment, it has been difficult to hold events inside the store, but due to the enthusiastic voices calling for the contest to be resumed, it was finally held. 75 works were submitted, and there were familiar faces and many first-time participants, making it a fresh start.

The award ceremony was held in the event hall of Kids Land on the 7th floor of Joshin Nihonbashi store, which opened nearby. Everyone seemed surprised by the solid style of the award ceremony, but they seemed to enjoy listening to the stories about the works. The Kansai Modelers Contest has finally been revived. We are considering making the content more powerful with this opportunity. We look forward to seeing your fun works next time.

Award-winning works

: [Super Kids Land Prize] Creator: build⁺ N-Ta Title: FIAT500 Maxi (1/24) Because it is a popular car model, many people make it, but this is a small but interesting piece that has been carefully crafted in every possible way.

: [Tamiya Award Military Category] Artist: Koji Yamada Title: Destroyer Kagero (1/350) Not only has the details on the ship been improved, but since it is a 1/350 full hull model, the key point is to add the water surface to create a realistic scene. It shows a school of tuna swimming under the water, and even the water currents caused by the propellers are depicted when you look down, making this a stunning piece with amazing detailing.

: [Tamiya Award, General Category] Author: Akira Watagawa Title: AHM CB750 F (1/6) Based on a 1/6 big scale Honda CB750F, this is a machine that Freddie Spencer thoroughly crafted for the opening race of the Superbike series in 1982. The shape of each part, the tires, and the added parts were all carefully crafted, and the level of perfection earned it a unanimous award.

: [Idea Award] Creator: Tsuyoshi Nakazawa Title: Fantasy Animal Set (1/35) Various mythical creatures that appear in Western fantasy works are reproduced in a 1/35 scale animal set. Not only was it surprising to see what they looked like, but the meticulously crafted shapes were a great source of enjoyment for viewers.
