Marking forty years of the Hornet, this Tamiya anniversary kit keeps the model's unmistakable styling while adding sensible improvements that enhance everyday durability and handling for hobby use.
The 0.7mm polycarbonate body captures the original Hornet proportions and style. The updated sticker set maintains the vintage appeal but provides a cleaner finished appearance once trimmed and painted.
The bathtub-style 2WD chassis stays faithful to the original but now incorporates a sealed rear gearbox adapted from the DT-02 for better protection. Independent double wishbone suspension and CVA oil dampers front and rear make the car more composed over rough terrain.
For collectors and casual bashing alike, the Tamiya Hornet 58742 anniversary kit offers an authentic build experience coupled with chassis updates that improve reliability without losing the Hornet character.
