History and Characteristicsstiof the Models Tarmac Works in 1/64 Scale

🏁 Brand History: The Rise of Tarmac Works

Founded in Hong Kong in 2014 , GLOSS_48__ Works was born from a vision: to create highly detailed and accessible model cars, with a focus on the world of collectibles , Japanese Dome Market culture , and iconic cars from the international road and racing scene. Founder Wesley Wong is a long-time collector with a passion for bridging the gap between affordable toy models and super-premium resin or metal models.

From the very beginning, Tarmac Works has shown an innovative approach: rather than mass producing with qualitative compromises, it has preferred to focus on limited runs, official licenses and aesthetic quality , even in the reduced 1/64 scale, historically considered less “noble” than 1/43 or 1/18.

Over time, the brand has consolidated important collaborations with car manufacturersstiche (Porsche, Mercedes-AMG, Audi Sport, Nissan, Pagani, McLaren, etc.), with well-known racing teams and preparers such as RWB (RAUH-Welt Begriff) , Liberty Walk , TOM'S Racing , and with companies in the model sectorstico such as MINI GT, Kyosho and Ignition Model .

In addition to quality, a distinctive feature ofsti is the attention to Asian automotive culture and its aesthetic and technical declinations: the racing liveries, the customized versions, the tuning accessories, the colors faithful to the motorcycle events are all elements that speak to the hearts of true enthusiasts.
