How do I order Tamiya new releases before they sell out?

Popular Tamiya new releases can sell out quickly. The best approach is to check our new releases page regularly and order as soon as items become available. We recommend creating an account on the Access Models website so you can check out quickly. Some highly anticipated releases may benefit from pre-ordering — contact us if you're interested in a specific upcoming Tamiya kit and we can advise on availability.

Do Tamiya new releases come with paint and glue?

Standard Tamiya plastic model kits do not include paint or glue — these need to be purchased separately. Tamiya produces their own excellent range of acrylic and enamel paints, masking tape, and polystyrene cement that are perfectly matched to their kits. Each kit includes a colour guide indicating which Tamiya paint colours are needed for an accurate finish. Browse our range of model paints and glues at Access Models to complete your order.
