This product includes an unpainted ABS plastic body shell for the Tamiya Cab Globe Liner. It does not include any chassis, electronics, decals, or assembly hardware.
It is recommended to use acrylic or enamel paints designed for plastic models. Always test paint compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Basic modeling tools such as a hobby knife, sandpaper, files, and plastic cement are generally required. Specialized tools may enhance the finishing process.
While the body itself is a component, completing a model from this unpainted shell requires modeling skills. Beginners might find it challenging without prior experience in painting and assembly.
This product is manufactured in Japan.
Replacement parts are typically available through Tamiya's official parts distributors or specialized hobby shops, referencing the specific part numbers from the model's instruction manual.
Ensure paints and thinners are compatible with ABS plastic. Avoid excessive heat during the painting or drying process.
Use Tamiya-specific plastic cement or CA glue (super glue) designed for ABS. Ensure parts are properly aligned before bonding.
Thoroughly clean and degrease the ABS surface before painting. Use a primer specifically designed for plastic models to ensure good adhesion.
Handle the ABS parts with care. If cutting is required, use a sharp hobby knife or specialized modeling saw. Do not force parts together.
Setup: This product is an unpainted ABS body shell and requires assembly before it can be used. Users will need to cut out window openings, attach smaller details, and prepare the surface for painting. Compatibility will depend on the chosen chassis and associated mounting hardware; it is typically designed for specific Tamiya chassis. Refer to the Tamiya instruction manual for detailed assembly steps.
Compatibility: This body is designed for specific Tamiya RC truck chassis. Ensure compatibility with your intended chassis model before purchase.
Care: Keep the ABS body away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can cause warping. Clean with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the plastic and paint finish.
