Tamiya plastic model kits are widely regarded as some of the finest available anywhere. Known for exceptional mould quality, accurate detail and excellent part fit, they make the build process enjoyable for modellers of all abilities.

The range covers an enormous variety of subjects. Military modellers will find an extensive selection of tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery and figures, particularly in the popular 1/35 scale, where Tamiya has been a dominant force for decades. The aircraft range spans both World War II and modern jets in 1/48 and 1/32 scales, while car enthusiasts can choose from road cars, rally cars and Formula One machinery in 1/24 and 1/20 scales. Tamiya also produces detailed motorcycle, ship and figure kits across multiple scales.

Every kit is backed by clear, well-illustrated instructions that make even complex builds approachable. For anyone new to scale modelling, a Tamiya kit is one of the best places to start.

Tamiya RC models have been inspiring hobbyists since the 1970s, and the range today is as exciting as ever. From nimble buggies and touring cars to heavy-duty trucks and full-function battle tanks, there is a Tamiya RC vehicle for virtually every interest and skill level.

For those new to radio control, the TT-02 chassis is an excellent starting point, it is straightforward to build, easy to upgrade and widely supported with spare parts. More experienced drivers will appreciate the competition-grade TRF series and the iconic 1/14 scale truck and trailer range, which offers an incredibly realistic driving experience.

At Wonderland Models, we go further than simply stocking Tamiya RC kits. Our RC package deals bundle everything you need, kit, radio, battery and charger, into a single purchase at a great price. We also offer an Expert Built service, where our team professionally assembles your chosen kit so it arrives ready to run straight out of the box.

No Tamiya build is complete without the right finishing materials, and Tamiya's own paints and tools are purpose-built to complement their kits. The acrylic paint range offers a wide palette of colours with a smooth, consistent finish that works beautifully by brush or airbrush. Tamiya spray paints are equally popular, providing an easy way to achieve professional-looking base coats and colour finishes without specialist equipment.

Beyond paints, Tamiya produces a comprehensive range of modelling tools, from precision side cutters and craft knives to sanding sponges, masking tape and weathering products. Their surface primers are a staple in many modellers' toolkits, providing an ideal base for any paint system. Whatever your project demands, Tamiya's accessories are designed to make the job easier and the results better.

Wonderland Models has been a trusted Tamiya stockist for over 50 years. Based in Edinburgh, our team of specialist staff live and breathe modelling and radio control, and that knowledge is available to every customer, whether you visit our Lothian Road showroom or shop with us online.

When you buy Tamiya from Wonderland, you are getting more than just a product. You get expert advice on choosing the right kit or RC model for your skill level, access to our RC package deals and Expert Built service, fast UK delivery with express options, and the confidence of shopping with a retailer that the modelling community has trusted for decades.

With such a broad range, it can be hard to know where to begin. Here is a quick guide to help you find the right starting point.

If you are new to scale modelling, a 1/48 aircraft kit or a 1/35 vehicle kit is a great first project. Tamiya's instructions are clear and the part fit is forgiving, so you can focus on learning the basics without frustration.

If radio control is more your style, the TT-02 on-road car chassis is the go-to entry point. Pair it with one of our package deals and you will have everything you need in one box. For something more rugged, the CC-02 chassis is ideal for off-road crawling.

If you are already an experienced hobbyist, explore Tamiya's competition RC chassis, their detailed 1/32 aircraft kits, or the impressive 1/14 truck range for a truly immersive build.
