Just announced a couple of hours back was a massive sale at Japan based online hobby retailer, HobbyLink Japan. Sale will last till Dec 20, 2012 at 6PM Japan Standard Time and if you tie that in with the shipping discount offer that will last till Dec 19, then you are sure to save a lot.

As part of their 15th year anniversary string of sales, HobbyLink Japan announced today a sale on Tamiya products. Sale will last however till only June 18 of this month at 6PM (Japan Standard Time), so better hurry before stocks run out or the sale ends.

Had fun looking at pictures from the 50th Shizuoka Hobby Show which was held of course at the mecca of Japanese model kit manufacturers, Shizuoka Japan. That’s because most of the major manufacturers are located there (Tamiya, Hasegawa, Bandai, Aoshima etc) and through their innovation, built up the model kit industry in Japan.

Just got this from HLJ, Tamiya Masking Tape Refill (6mm) and Tamiya Masking Tape Refill (10mm). The reason I’ve been wanting to get this for the longest time is because most model maker reviews I’ve read recommend to use this type of masking tape for painting.
