[@johnberry2877]

As a former GM contractor and someone who forbids my family from driving ANY GM vehicle, it’s pretty amazing the precision, quality and dedication the company Tamiya builds ! Moreover, the cleanliness and efficiency their factories have ! 🇯🇵🇯🇵👍👍👍

[@yuigahama3189]

If i may ask, how does the GM related to tamiya?

[@cartunerph4827]

1:50 Among all those Tamiyas, one stuck out to me. On the left most shelf, there is a Sand Scorcher. It stick out like a sore thumb. One of the reasons I saved up to get one.

[@getting_things_done]

Slightly embarrassing that the factory workers can create a better finish on a model in seconds than I can in hours :(

[@KatRollo]

Not embarrassing. Factory workers are PROS than end-consumers will ever be hahaha.

[@red7fifty]

Do the SAME thing for 10 hours a day....you'll get good at it.

[@yuigahama3189]

The difference between an enthusiast and a worker is that workers have plenty of time and experience as theyre doing the same cycle over and over again for god knows how long

[@JeremysTech]

this made want to buy a tamiya.

[@clownface8415]

Jeremy how you know my cousin ta'miya

[@mikeylejan8849]

It is nice to see that there are factories in the Philippines, we need more manufacturing jobs.

[@josephturtoga7396]

Tamiya is not famous today

[@MoChua]

Is the factory still in operation today? RIP Mr. and Mrs. Chan of Lil's Hobby Shop.

[@juniorjunior9118]

Yung nauso yung mga tamiya race sa mall, sana bumalik yung mga high school days para mas lalong dumami ang magka-trabaho. Imbes na ML or COD ang atupagin ng mga kabataan ngayon

[@alexfloresjr.429]

Sana all... Makapag trabaho sa tamiya... Sana my discount sa product ang mga workers...

[@michaeleugeneromero180]

90% of the Tamiya's is made in the Philippines and 90can'tnt find them in the philippines.

[@yi_hou3092]

They all get Exported for Japan for Quality Inspection and also demand for it here is pretty moderate due to the price increase

[@chimaeraarts]

We got AULDEY for some reason.

[@vie3147]

I didn't even know there's a Tamiya factory in the Philippines. So they've kept it running even after the whole fad died down in the late 90's.

[@sam1908]

Cryptic Broccoli It is very popular in Japan in fact there is annual Japan Cup. Young Japanese are crazy in this hobby.

[@vie3147]

mas nac but it was only popular in southeast asia, not japan ib the 90s. Good to know that it has now became popular in japan. I guess people there just love model kits.

[@iantune]

its still popular in the ph tho

[@robertalexis6470]

Not super popular pero active pa rin mga racers d2 sa pinas hanapin nyo sa fb,

[@emti29]

Ang pangit lang na di tayo nakaka bili directly from the factory.
