Many distributors have a dedicated website for processing orders and payment. In some countries, Tameo models are available by visiting retail stores, but for most areas, the easiest option will be mail order. The Tameo Kits website provides a listing of distributors and allows modellers to search for stores in their region. Tameo models are sold through a distributor network Having selected a kit, the next step is to find a retailer to supply the product. For fans of different race teams, a range of other Tameo / SilverLine kits are also good projects for a first build (McLaren Mp4/5B (SLK 016), McLaren Mp4/13 (TMK 269), Williams FW14B (TMK 153) This is a well detailed model, but the quality of the kit development and design makes it a realistic project for a beginner.
For the “First Build” section of this manual, I have chosen to feature Tameo’s recent Ferrari F189 kit. Above all, it is important to select a car that you are interested in as this can help keep up motivation during the build. Modern grand prix single seaters feature a staggering array of aerodynamic components so even a ‘curbside’ (no engine detail) kit can be challenging project. Detail on the different collections is available on the Tameo Kits website.Īnother aspect to consider in selecting a kit is the complexity of the real machine. The aim with these models is to provide the most accurate reproduction possible of the real car.

The most detailed kits are the World Champion Tameo (WCT) series and the ‘SuperKits’ included in the TMK range. Later models include an increasing amount of photo etched parts, with more recent models being fully designed on computer and featuring very high levels of detail. Early kits are almost exclusively cast in white metal. In addition to spanning many racing seasons, the Tameo range also includes a wide variety of kit types. The full listing of kits is available on the Tameo Kits website (in the Tameo catalogue titled ‘Turtle Soup 3’ as well as on the websites of many of Tameo’s distributors.

Models are now exclusively designed using computer aided design and manufacture techniques, resulting in extremely high level of detail and accuracy in the finished models. In recent years there has been considerable investment and innovation from Tameo Kits to develop its kit design and manufacturing techniques. While 1/43 kits are perhaps less well-known than the main-stream plastic automotive scales of 1/20 or 1/24, there is much greater diversity of subject matter allowing modellers to build a collection of models that appeal to them. It aims to provide a step-by-step overview of a range of techniques for beginners through to advanced builders in the hope of encouraging modellers to try assembling a 1/43 kit.1/43 has been popular for many years with devoted builders and collectors who appreciate the opportunity to keep a large collection of models in a small space.
