List and deadline of Mini 4WD Condale Festival organizers (in japanese language)

Tamiya 12686 1/35 Japan Ground Self Defense Force Type 16 MCV Metal Gun Barell


Thorough reproduction of the multi-purpose muzzle brake
A perforated muzzle brake equipped in the muzzle of the main gun which can be said to be a big feature of 16 type mobile combat vehicle. It suppresses large recoil generated when shooting a 105 ㎜ tank gun, enabling more stable shooting. A metal barrel that reproduces this characteristic barrel as it is with a high quality aluminum cutting appeared. A total of 63 gas vent holes are thoroughly reproduced, nine rows × seven rows spirally opened. The sharp mold which was processed like the real thing from the base of the barrel to the muzzle, greatly improved the sense of precision. It is also a big merit that processing of the parting line is unnecessary.

Visiting the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen

We had the luck to recently be able to visit the Porsche museum in Zuffenhausen Germany, which belongs to the Dr.-Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG and is a unique experience for any real car, model car and even Tamiya aficionado. The current form of the museum was finalised in 2009 and it has many vehicle as well as part exhibits from the whole history of the company, which this year celebrates already 70 years, 1948-2018. As many Tamiya fans who have read the autobiography of the president of Tamiya, Mr. Shunsaku Tamiya, know, Tamiya has a very special relation to Porsche, starting in the mid 70s, where Tamiya actually purchased a Porsche 911, dismantled it and rebuilt it in order to better understand the car to release a fabulous 1/12 scale static model, on which they soon after even created their first radio control car model which was a huge sale success in Japan but also in export. Therefore, on this article we will only concentrate on museum exhibits which in a more or less similar form and version were released from Tamiya as static or R/C model kits.
