Ah, a familiar "face" (and a very tall race queen from another company)! Tamiya was just one of many Japanese manufacturers with a presence at the fair. Check out Kyosho's area, too. The Nürnberg Toy Fair is truly International -- and it's humongous! No small booths here. No.1 in Tamiya's "Collector's Club" line of finished 1/24 scale motorcycle models is the Honda Repsol RC211V 2005 (no.3).

The second entry in the same series is the Team Movistar Honda RC211V 2005 (no. 15). Third is the Konica Minolta RC211V 2005 (no.6) - - and fourth in the series is the Team Honda Pons RC211V 2005 (no.4).
