Introduction to the Tamiya 17801 - Shinkansen Series 700 Kit

The Tamiya 17801 - Shinkansen Series 700 joins the Dangun Racer family as a visually accurate Mini 4WD style model for collectors and modellers. Its strengths lie in styling and presentation rather than competitive racing use.

Exterior Styling and Finish

The sculpted body mirrors the Shinkansen's smooth contours, offering a faithful silhouette that suits detailed painting, decals and modest weathering work for an authentic display result.

Presentation-Focused Understructure

The chassis design favours stability and correct stance rather than performance parts, ensuring the assembled model sits true on a shelf or in a display case.

Visual Enhancements and Detailing

Modellers can focus on paint schemes, decal accuracy and small aftermarket trims to elevate the model's realism while keeping the original non-racing intent intact.

Specifications

  • Scale: Non-scale display type
  • Material: Plastic model kit
  • Dimensions: Conforms to Mini 4WD sizing
  • Part Count: Multiple detailing parts
No, this kit is intended as a static model and is not engineered for racing performance on Mini 4WD circuits.
Techniques like panel lining, careful masking and layered paint washes work well to bring out the shell details and create a realistic finish.
Swapping chassis is possible with modification, but such changes will alter the model away from its display-first design and may require cutting or adapting parts.
Store in a dust-free case or on a display stand away from direct sunlight to prevent paint fade and to protect delicate trim pieces.
