Tamiya 2023 New Product Announcements | CompetitionX

It’s no secret that the Spielwarenmesse 2023 – or Nuremberg Toy Fair – is one of the most highly anticipated shows in our industry. This is where, typically, all of the new manufacturer models are shown (if they haven’t been leaked already).

This year, there’s been some buzz from the Tamiya camp – some cool re-releases but, more importantly, some new models that we haven’t seen before.

We could go on and on and on, but let’s just get to the new RC kits Tamiya will be releasing this year.
