User guide
Tamiya Legends has three pages. Switch between them with the tabs under the header: The First 200 (Tamiya kits 58001–58200), TRF (every Tamiya Racing Factory kit with TRF in its name) and Guide Books (Tamiya's RC Guide Books, 1979–2004, to read page by page).
Adding a kit to your collection
- Find the kit by scrolling, searching by name, number or chassis (e.g. TRF201 or 42345), or tapping a type such as Touring.
- Tap the round ✓ button in the top-right corner of the kit's photo.
- The button turns red. The kit is now in your collection, and the In my collection counter at the top goes up by one.
Removing a kit
Tap the red ✓ again. It turns white and the kit is removed from your collection.
Filtering the list
- The type buttons show Touring cars, Formula cars, 2WD or 4WD buggies, or 1/8 GP nitro kits.
- The year drop-down narrows the list to an era.
- The last drop-down shows Owned, Not owned (your wanted list), kits with a Glen video, Limited editions, or the two 1992 Prototypes.
Prototypes
The TRF211X (93004) and the 4WD TRF prototype (93005) were built by Tamiya in 1992 but never sold. They are marked Prototype · never sold.
Manuals, spares and photos
Tap a kit's photo or name to open its details. From there you can open the manual and spares list (TamiyaBase), find photos and reviews (RC Scrapyard and TamiyaClub), search for a manual PDF, or look for spares on eBay. Use Previous / Next or your arrow keys to move between kits.
Buying spare parts
Tap the blue TTP Models spare parts button on any kit to see the spare parts TTP Models (UK) has for that kit. It searches their shop by the kit number, so you'll see parts listed for that exact kit.
Watching Glen's videos
Kits that Glen has covered on the TAMIYA Legends YouTube channel have a red ▶ VIDEO badge and a ▶ Watch Glen's video button. Tap the kit to see all of Glen's videos for it.
Promo videos
Each kit's details include a link to search YouTube for Tamiya's own video of that kit. Where an official promo has been confirmed, the tile also gets a black ▶ Promo Video button.
Adding the app to your home screen
Tap 📲 Add to Home Screen at the top of the page and follow the steps. The app then opens from its own icon, like any other app.
Good to know: your collection is saved on this device, in this browser only, and covers all three pages. It won't appear on your other devices, and clearing your browser's data or history will erase it. On iPhone, the home-screen app and Safari keep separate collections, so pick one and stick to it.
