Introduction to the Avante Mk.III Azure model

The Tamiya Avante Mk.III Azure pairs iconic off-road styling with practical Mini 4WD engineering. This Tamiya 18626 Avante Mk.III Azure Mini 4WD PRO Kit offers a vivid blue body and race-style graphics aimed at enthusiasts who enjoy both building and tuning.

Exterior styling and functional decals

The blue bodywork is finished with white, red and blue sticker sheets and includes separate aero components plus a rear wing. The aesthetic choices also serve to fine-tune airflow and help with stability around bends.
