Going to a Tamiya store is on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing James!!!

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

You’ll get there someday and go crazy… except you can’t buy lacquer or enamel paint. They won’t sell it to you.

[@homunculous007]

Cool Beans.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

I’m glad you enjoyed it👍

[@travisweeks7819]

Great visit to the Tamiya shop in Japan James. Thanks for taking us along.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Thanks for tuning in and dropping a comment David 👍

[@KarlScaleModeling]

Thanks for another virtual tour of the Tamiya Plamodel Store James.. definitely a must visit for us modellers! No.1 on the list if one day I manage to visit Japan :)

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Thank you Karl for watching👍. I found that Tam Tam hobby shop and Yodobashi stores had better selection of kits and supplies but I did stock up on supplies at the Tamiya store.

[@geoffhipwell2198]

Great tour!! You always give us a good look at things too!! Not 'rushed' like others tend to. 👍👍

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Thanks so much for watching Geoff! I have a few videos to upload while I wait for my flight back to the USA.

[@Johnny-tt8zc]

Thank you for taking us with you to the store. I could hear my wallet shrinking.
I actually really like the display cases at the 2:05 Minute mark.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

I neglected the armor stuff in last years video so I gave it some love this year. Thanks for watching👍

[@hortonshotrodshop2003]

James that looks to be an amazing store i would love to get a couple shirts and lots of kits. Would be hard to decide what to get.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Hi Horton, thanks for watching! I had a good time and picked up some supplies at the Tamiya store. I’ll do a full stash add video this weekend.

[@LemurKrazy]

Thorough recording - no need to visit now!

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

So glad that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching 👍

[@johnmajane3731]

The P-47 for sure. I would go broke if I entered that store.

good tour thanks lee

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@timemachinesscalemodels]

Awesome stuff, James. I could get myself into a bit of trouble in there.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Wait till you see the video I’m uploading right now from the hobby shop😜 thanks again for watching bud👍

[@Johnny-tt8zc]

Just a little bit of trouble 😂😂

[@DTFFP]

Seeing prices between$16 to $25 is something crazy to see.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Thanks for watching. The US dollar is strong right now so they are even cheaper than that. But, kits take up a lot of luggage space and shipping a box of kits home negates any savings you had.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

That looks like heaven, James! Have you ever built a motorcycle kit? I think you'd be pretty good at it.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Hi JD, yes I built a Tamiya Ninja kit years ago. It was a fun kit to build. I have 2 more bike kits to build someday 👍

[@model-grail-kit-hunter]

I can get some serious financial trouble watching this video lol.. thank you so much

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

That’s for sure bud👍 thanks for watching.

[@rayrussell6258]

You got there!
What will you send home? 🤔

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

You’ll have to wait for the stash add video in a few days 😁. It’s all packed tight in my luggage. Thanks for watching 👍

[@rayrussell6258]

@@ScaleModelExperiment Don't forget tools, and chrome!

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

@rayrussell6258 gotcha Ray!

[@bkmodelcars]

Wow talk about a hobby store
Do we have anything like that

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Unfortunately not in the US…

[@bkmodelcars]

Bummer

[@davidebert8034]

How are the prices? This looks like heaven!

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

The dollar to yen was strong when I was there and still is… cheaper than a domestic kit for sure and so much better quality.

[@davidebert8034]

@@ScaleModelExperiment good news! I’m going in August and looking to spend 2,000 dollars there. I’m guessing I could fill up two suitcases?

[@motionboy356]

Black Friday is coming here…my wallet is gonna get so thin.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

Tell me about it Motion! Mines already thin from the trip 😁
