Tamico 15th Anniversary Limited Edition – Dancing Rider Custom




Description:
15 years of Tamico!
We would like to celebrate this small but beautiful anniversary together with you.
And that with a very special anniversary model.
The “Tamiya Dancing Rider Custom Speed Delivery 15 Years TAMICO Limited Edition Kit”.
As the name suggests, this “Dancing Rider” really has it all.
The kit is based on a normal Dancing Rider kit.

But our “Limited Edition” comes with the following very special parts. The “highlight” is immediately noticeable. Instead of the clear and unpainted body, the kit now includes a pre-cut and actually really “chromed” body.
Instead of the original white rims of the Dancing Rider, our kit comes with the special Tamiya 54913/14 rims in neon orange.

But probably the most exclusive part of the “Dancing Rider Speed Delivery” are the included decals. These were exclusively created by us, and give the model the unique ultimate “Speed Delivery Look”. Detailed instructions for these decals in Tamiya quality are included in every kit. So that nothing goes wrong when decaling the model. The model is strictly limited to only 333 pieces. Each individual kit is exclusively numbered for this purpose.

Technical details:
– 1/8 scale kit model
– New 3-wheel chassis with rear engine and front-mounted battery pack
– Front and rear parts are connected and movable for steering movements
Stabilising arms on the sides
– Newly designed body

Scope of delivery:
– Kit model
– detailed illustrated assembly instructions
– 370cc electric motor
– newly designed “Speed Delivery” decals

Required accessories:

Attention! Please note:
The model is limited to two pieces per customer.
The numbered kits will be shipped in the order in which the orders are received. Therefore, desired numbers cannot be taken into account.
If you would like to have a low serial number, we therefore recommend that you order quickly.
We ask for your understanding.

Full details of Tamiya 61125 1/48 Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II


The F-35 Lightning is a multi-role fighter that was developed based on a plan to consolidate various tactical aircraft operated by the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps into one type of aircraft and its derivatives, and began deployment in 2011. II. Among the three types of F-35 developed, the F-35B for the Marine Corps is capable of short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) with a rotating engine duct nozzle and lift fan. In addition, it features a weapon bay that allows weapons to be stored within the fuselage, radar wave absorption technology, etc., and combines high-speed performance with a maximum speed of Mach 1.6 and excellent stealth. Following the US, UK, and Italy, Japan’s Air Self-Defense Force also decided to introduce the F-35B in August 2019. As the world’s first supersonic STOVL aircraft, it is expected to demonstrate high responsiveness.
“1/48 F-35A Lightning II” released in December last year. The 5th generation state-of-the-art stealth fighter achieved a high level of reproducibility down to the details, from the fuselage shape to the details, and achieved a clear component configuration and exhilarating assembly through unitization, which created a great response. Inheriting this feature, we have already modeled the short takeoff/vertical landing stealth fighter “F-35B”, which is the most ambitious aircraft in the F-35 series. We approach its true form on a 1/48 scale.

This time around the MB-01 is configured to be the middle wheelbase with midship rear motor/rear wheel drive (MR) specification.

The MB-01 Chassis
The compact, 2WD MB-01 chassis gives a choice of three types of wheelbases, and front- or rear- wheel drive system. This model employs a midship motor, rear-wheel drive setup.

The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features symmetrical structure and friction dampers. Unitized sections such as motor mount, final gears and suspension facilitate ease of assembly and effective maintenance.
