Sir Frank Williams and his team were always so supportive in helping Tamiya produce its most iconic @WilliamsRacing F1 model cars. The level of access given was superb and highly appreciated. Our sincere thoughts and best wishes go to the Williams family as we remember him.

Released Dec 1979, the Sand Scorcher was Tamiya's second Baja SRB chassis car and proved to be an early instigator of the RC revolution. The '506' livery, fresh today as it was 45yrs ago! Re-released in 2010 the Scorcher remains a favourite. #tamiya #collectingcars #livery
