At the 2026 64th All Japan Model & Hobby Show at Tokyo Big Sight, Tamiya displayed the 1/48 Grumman F-14B Tomcat Tractor Tow Set and the 1/14 40-Foot Aluminum Van Semi-Trailer, both announced at the venue. The new Click Lock 1/24 Car Model Series opens with Volkswagen Type 2 and Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 kits.
The F-14B set pairs the fighter with the A/S32A-31 deck tractor and adds four crew figures, three marking options, and a paper flight deck sheet. The 1/14 semi-trailer measures 886 mm and joins a separately announced TROP.62 Semi-Trailer Light Set. Click Lock kits snap together from cut-out parts, and the first cars are the Volkswagen Type 2 in red/white and blue/white at 178 mm, due in December at 3,960 yen each.
