The ”2022” model, which has been greatly refined from the TG10-Mk.2FZ chassis, is now available!
The TG10-Mk.2FZ chassis equipped with a 2.1cc FS-12FZ engine in a shaft drive 4WD chassis has been greatly refined. A new 3mm thick duralumin lower deck enhances cornering performance, and a new 2mm thick carbon upper deck with improved maintainability by changing the mounting position of the steering servo. Furthermore, in order to achieve a lower center of gravity, it is newly equipped with a short size big bore damper and a carbon damper stay that optimizes its mounting position. It is a full range of contents that can be recommended even for users who already have an FZ chassis, such as using a carbon bumper stay that increases body mount rigidity and an aluminum adjustable suspension block that allows fine suspension settings. In addition to the 2-speed transmission, the muffler is equipped with a TM12 race tune muffler as standard, making it a chassis kit that can be used immediately for racing.
Major Standard Equipment Parts

- By narrowing the lower deck, road interference is reduced when rolling. The cornering performance is enhanced by making the suspension work properly. The upper deck has changed the mounting position of the steering servo (*). Easy access to the servo horn and improved maintenance. *The steering servo uses a low-profile servo for engine cars.
- The damper is an original version that combines a short size big bore cylinder with a shaft optimized for this chassis. The carbon damper stay, which is the first equipment, increases rigidity and sets the damper position to achieve a low center of gravity.
- The TM12 race-tuned muffler, which is indispensable for racing and large-scale courses, is standard equipment, as well as a 2-speed transmission that allows you to enjoy sharp acceleration and extended maximum speed. Increases low- and medium-speed torque, improves corner rise, and improves maneuverability.

35380 1/35 British Cruiser Tank A34 Comet

The culmination of British tanks born from the determination to overthrow Germany
The Comet was introduced at the end of World War II as a British tank that could compete with powerful German tanks such as the Tiger and Panther. The basic structure of the car body is based on Cromwell, a conventional main battle tank, and the main gun is equipped with a QF77mm gun, which is comparable to the 17-pounder gun, which was said to be the strongest anti-tank gun in England at the time. The turret has also been enlarged to match the new main gun, giving it a more modern look. The Comet, which made its first appearance in the Rhine Crossing Operation in March 1945, struggled mainly to support infantry, fully demonstrating the power of its 77mm cannon. The well-balanced performance of attack power, mobility, and defense power was highly appreciated by the crew and infantry.
About the Model
