Now Tamiya is offering more than 300 different products, both in the fields of precision static models and high performance radio control vehicles. These products are not only sold in Japan but also exported in vast quantities to the United States, Europe, South East Asia, and to many other parts of the world.
The standard of excellence achieved by Tamiya is regarded as among the very finest in the world of model hobbies. During the Pacific War, she supported attacks on Kyushu and Okinawa and then participated in actions such as the bombardment of Muroran in Hokkaido. It is a well-known fact that the signing ceremony of Japan's surrender documents took place on the Missouri's decks on September 3, 1945.
Following the end of the Korean War, the Missouri was mothballed at the reserve fleet anchorage but was refitted with, various, modern equipment to rejoin the U.S. Navy in 1986. The Tamiya model kit faithfully depicts the Missouri as she appeared in 1991.
New parts have been tooled to update the kit. This finely detailed plastic model kit requires assembly and painting.
