Does anyone else remember...

[Erich Reichert]

Maybe I'm really starting to lose it but does anyone else remember Tamiya making static models of guns? I want to say it was around 87/88ish. I remember the Hobbytown I went to had them next to the r/c cars and the one that sticks out was an AK47. They had little bullets that went in the clip and everything from what I remember but I have never been able to even find mention of them online anywhere. Does anyone else remember these?

I don't remember Tamiya doing it, but there was a company that was John-something that made some super realistic cap guns that still had magazines and bullets-

Hey Erich, I can't remember what I had for supper last night but I do remember a long time ago that a couple of the local mom&pop hobby shops had a display of static guns that could be ordered. Can't put a handle on if it was tamiya or not but I do remember the display. I was more into the slot cars at that time and the display displaced a bunch of parts so it wasn't good attention I was giving it at that time is why I remember them I guess . Someone around here will have to remember them or who made them though...

I vaguely remember some company making models of guns like the AK-47, M16, etc...but I don't recall it being Tamiya.

It wasn't Tokyo Marui was it?

[Erich Reichert]

Maybe it was marui. I know the shop carried them too. I'm not completely positive who made them but they were pretty real looking (hence they stopped making them lol)

It wasn't Tokyo Marui was it?

I was thinking Marui myself, because when I was researching & restoring that Marui Galaxy, I learned that Marui made a lot of air guns and one of them even might've been named Galaxy, too.

If they made them today they'd have to have that stupid fluorescent orange tip on them...

Battery powered! Suck by Super Soaker standards, but were awesome in their day. I had the Uzi. Fill the clip with water and soak those bitches! ...Well, 'til the 8oz of water it held ran out...

They cost as much as a real AK

A real AK will run you about 5000
