Hornet Spirit in Small Scale

The Tamiya 56716 - 1/12 TamTech-Gear The Hornet Mini (GB-01S) channels the spirit of the classic Hornet into a manageable 1/12 kit. It is designed to give an engaging building experience while remaining compact enough for casual use.

Build, tune and collect

The kit suits new builders thanks to clear assembly steps, while more experienced hobbyists can tune suspension and drivetrain settings. Its scaled retro look also appeals to collectors of classic RC models.
