Hi Friends.

At first interesting article and very suprising me.

If it really 1-25 scaleRC  model , not mistake 1-25 v/s 1-35 , very good qualite tracks and road wheels,better then my resin road semispider road wheel.

 I never see it before.Is a chance to buy it today ?

Some words and differences between ToyStar and Tamiya .In Chinese model no commander figure and the tracks are worse .Small differences between drive sprocket and idler wheel - in Chenese model no small rings around reduce bore (holes).

Besides stick model, without any problems .

My 16years old T34 is here and after weathering here

Toy Star did what Academy did; they copied the old Tamiya 1/25 scale kits that had been OOP for a bit and released the kits themselves. The only difference is that Academy did it in the 1970s and 80s whereas Toy Star did it in the 2000s.

ToyStar??  Never heard of them!  I googled it and found only this somewhat pertinent article:

Hopefully Rob Gronovious will read this post, he's the real expert on obscure models!

ToyStar T-34?
Posted by SuperNova-SS on Monday, July 4, 2011 10:36 PM

My local Hobby Shop just got in a 1/25 Toystar T-34, and they want to sell it for $50.  Does anybody know anything about this kit?  I know ToyStar is/was related to Tamiya, but other than that, I don't know a thing about it.

Would somebody possibly enlighten me on this kit?  Is it a good deal?  Thanks. Hmm

I play World of Tanks! (Yeah, I'm a dork)If anybody has one of those kits with the WoT coupons inside, I'll be happy to take them off of your hands!   :-)
