After one and a half hour drive we are reaching Nürnberg. You can't miss the exhibition area, there are signs everywhere.
We just have to turn right and we are there. At the Toy Fair - cool! Usually it is open just for dealers and the press. But this year we can have a look as well...
Just a few more meter to go and we are at the huge Tamiya stand. The trailer is opened up and the first people stop dead in their tracks. You don't see cars like the Scorcher here very often, most of the time the exhibitors use super cars like Ferrari or Lamborghini.
The Scorcher rolls in the direction of the Tamiya stand, one of the biggest in this hall.
Unfortunately we have to clean the car, some kind of dirt came through the blankets of the trailer. Franz buckles to work.
There he is, the first Tamiya celebrity. 30 years ago Taki Fumito designed the original Tamiya Sand Scorcher. He was overwhelmed from the 1:1 Scorcher. It must be a fantastic feeling, when you know, that the toy you developed is an icone today. And then there is a guy like Walter who build the car for real.
Taki-san just had to take place behind the steering wheel of the Scorcher. Look at his face - he is one happy man!
The glovebox lid is a favourite place for autographs. Taki-san signed the Scorcher with name, date and time.
Now they are all here: The real size BUG BOX Scorcher and Tamiyas re-release Scorcher. They will stand there for the next five days. And in front of both is the box of Walters kit - also signed by Taki-san.
