Introducing the Tamiya 47478 Land Rover Defender 90 Kit

The Tamiya 47478 presents the 1990 Land Rover Defender 90 in a light blue finished polycarbonate body. The kit combines authentic exterior detail with a chassis engineered for realistic trail performance.

Defender 90 Character and Proportions

Renowned for its compact wheelbase and rugged build, the Defender 90 is modelled here as the 3-door 93-inch wheelbase variant. At 1/10 scale it retains the Defender's short-wheelbase handling and traditional silhouette, appealing to scale purists.

CC-02 Chassis Features
