Tailor Your Model with the Thunder Dragon Body

The Tamiya 47473 - 1/10 Thunder Dragon Body Parts Set provides an unpainted polycarbonate shell for enthusiasts who like to personalise their cars. Its lightweight, robust build helps keep handling predictable while you focus on finish and detail.

Main Features of the Body Set

Material: Manufactured from polycarbonate to combine lightness with good impact resistance for routine running and club racing.
Customization: The clear, unpainted surface allows layered paintwork, masked graphics and custom decal schemes to suit your tastes.
Included Accessories: Supplied with marking stickers to help locate detail and masking stickers to aid precise paint lines.
Compatibility: Cutlines and mounting points are intended for the Thunder Dragon (Thunder Shot) and Hornet (Super Storm Dragon) chassis; adaptation may be needed for other vehicles.

Assembly and Painting Guidance

Dry-fit the body first to check screw positions and ensure metal components do not foul the shell. Use the included masking stickers for crisp paint separation and trim along the cutlines with a sharp blade for a tidy finish.

Is trimming likely to be required for a perfect fit?

Some minor trimming along printed cutlines is normal, especially if fitting to a non-standard chassis. Work carefully and follow the marked lines for best results.

Can I use ordinary hobby paint on this body?

Use paints formulated for polycarbonate to avoid cracking and poor adhesion. Apply thin coats and allow sufficient drying time between layers.

How do the included stickers help with painting?

Masking stickers mark off areas and protect edges so you can spray clean lines. Marking stickers help position decals and trims before final application.

Should I check suspension travel before finalising the fit?

Yes, check full suspension travel and wheel clearance when fitting the body to avoid rubbing or contact during operation. Adjust mounting points if necessary.
