This iconic Japanese model brand is considered a world benchmark for scale aeroplane kits of high quality and accurate details. They started operation in 1941 producing wooden glider models.
The transition to plastic models came about in 1961 with the famous 1:450 scale model of the Japanese battleship Yamato. From the 1960s onwards the brand has enjoyed progressive growth to achieve an international standing that persists to this day. They are famed for their aeroplane line, 1:24 scale cars, and the “waterline” ship series in 1:700 scale.
