Tamiya is well-known for its finely-detailed models of aircrafts, cars, ships, and armor, as well as radio-controlled and diecast cars.And while the kit captures the complexity of this groundbreaking vehicle, it remains beginner-friendly. Tamiya has crafted the assembly process to be engaging yet manageable, allowing newcomers to relish the experience without feeling overwhelmed.
