From the Archive: Tamiya Models and Diecast Cars!
July 2, 2024
Like many research archives and archives, the IMRRC collects selectively, not comprehensively. We don’t have the staff and space required to collect, process and store EVERYTHING racing-related: the endless t-shirts and caps alone would overwhelm us!

Diecast and plastic models fall into the “representative” category and while we don’t collect them comprehensively, they feature prominently at the Center.
