Tamiya dinosaurs

When I was a little girl mad with dinos, my father (who's like some of you may already know is a collector as well) gave me several dino kits manufactured by Tamiya.
He glued and even painted some of them for me (as I was too young to do it myself), and for some time they were considired to be my favourite toys
I can hardly remember where they are now (I think some of them were given away later, only T-Rex and raptors still dwell somewhere in the storeroom). Not long ago I found some pics of those vintage kits while surfing the Internet, and I'd like to share them with you.
(I will try to have a look and find my Tamiya dinos- those that still remain in my posession)

AFAIK most of them are made in 1:35 scale (however, some from my collection were in 1:72 or sth like this), from hard plastic, and you have to connect the peices together with glue and then paint the figure.

Those are awesome. I hope you are able to find yours. They must mean so much to you since they came from your father and you have childhood memories with them. I think I have seen a couple of these on ebay and thought about getting them.

They are wonderful

It must have been SO much fun to make them...my brother used to make aeroplanes, but these are 1000 times more beautyful

Are they still being made ?

Wow!! A wonderful find!! Big congratulations!!!

So do I. I would share some pics if I get them:)
I think you would love them, they are really detailed (esp sauropod ones), and not that big, so do not require too much space.

Yes, it was rather funny, esp because I got an opportunity TO HAVE MY VERY OWN SCALE MODELS, and what's more- they were DINOS, not just soldiers:)

I think they are still produced, though I do not know for certain. However, some of them still can be found in our model shops, but quite expensive

Thanks)
I wish I could find now those of my own.

Wow that Parasaurolophus colour-scheme is identical to Papo's.
