Install a seated driver to enhance scale realism

The Tamiya 54496 WR-02 Driver Figure is supplied as a plastic assembly kit to add a helmeted, full-body driver to your WR-02 based model. It provides a quick way to lift scale appearance in closed or open cockpit setups.

Compatibility notes and minor mods

Primarily for WR-02 chassis, the figure can be adjusted to suit other platforms by relocating mounting tabs or trimming excess plastic. The parts are straightforward to work with for light customisation.

Practical finishing and weatherproofing tips

Use a lukewarm wash to remove mould release, then prime before painting. Seal finished paintwork with a clear coat to protect the figure during regular use.

The figure is lightweight and unlikely to noticeably change handling. If balance is critical, position the figure centrally or offset ballast as needed.
Standard modelling tools - hobby knife, files, glue and paint - are sufficient. No specialised equipment is required for a neat installation.
Priming is recommended to improve paint adhesion and reveal small imperfections to sand prior to the final paint coats.
