Tamiya Bruiser (1985, 2012)
Continuing the three-speed tradition started in 1981 with the Hilux, Tamiya sought to improve upon the concept by adding a bigger motor and more weight. The result was the ever-popular (and still expensive) Bruiser.

Tamiya Subaru Brat (1983, 2007)
Tamiya’s re-issue initiative continues to bring back the oldies. The Subaru Brat was originally issued in 1983 and has been re-issued in 2007. As expected, the re-issue remains very faithful to the original while adding a few improvements.

Tamiya Lancia 037 Rally (1983, 2001)
This one gets my vote for “most improved Tamiya re-issue”, after replacing the ungainly Frog chassis-based Lancia of the early 80’s.
