AOSHIMA Store - faithfully reproduced plastic car models for assembly

Aoshima was founded in 1924 by Jiro Aoshima in Shizuoka, Japan, as an aircraft research institute. In 1929, Aoshima began producing wooden model kits, utilizing the knowledge and experience gained from operating aircraft. In 1961, Aoshima Bunka Kyozai Inc. was established, focusing on the design and production of plastic model kits.

Since then, Aoshima has been continuously developing and has become one of the leading producers of plastic model kits in Japan. The brand is known for its high quality among modelers worldwide and is constantly working on new and innovative projects to meet customer demands.

Aoshima primarily produces plastic models of passenger cars in 1:24 scale. Many models feature a detailed engine replica with great attention to detail. It is also a brand that offers vehicles used in the Japanese anime Initial D - which for many JDM fans serves as an introduction to the world of Japanese automotive culture.
