Tamiya 1/24 Toyota AA - Scale Replica with Vintage Detail

The Tamiya 1/24 Toyota AA offers a hands-on way to explore Toyota's earliest car building. Launched in 1936 by Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, the AA stands as Toyota's first production vehicle and reflected international styling trends of its day.

Why the AA Matters

The AA featured a 3.4 litre inline-6 engine and a robust ladder frame with leaf springs, representing advanced domestic engineering at the time. Production ran to roughly 1,400 cars over about six years, helping to lay the groundwork for Toyota's future growth.

What the Kit Includes

This Tamiya kit reproduces the AA's key details and gives a rewarding build process. Included are:

  • Carefully finished metal-plated pieces for grille and headlamps
  • A detailed ladder frame and leaf spring suspension assembly
  • Metal-plated hubcaps and bumper fittings
  • Photo-etched parts for the wing emblem detailing
  • Metallic-style decals for side and bonnet ornamentation
  • An accurate cabin layout complete with a figure in the driver's seat

The kit supplies metallic-style decals and parts to reproduce period detailing, but paint choices are left to the builder to match historic finishes. Reference period photographs for best results.
